Dim Sum & Then Some

Chinese American Bear, the duo of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, announce their new album Dim Sum & Then Some, due out May 8th via Moshi Moshi Records.Dim Sum & Then Some is a positive and lighthearted collage of the duo's life together - exploring all the things they love: food, appreciating small joys, the Chinese-American upbringing, love, and fairy tales.The sounds on the album are more musically dense and exploratory, marking a sonic evolution for the duo. The band finds themselves delving much further into experimental territory, while also incorporating more traditional pop elements than they ever have. There's a nice mix of sonics on this album, featuring warbly guitars, hints of psychedelia, pop, disco, and strings, while also incorporating synth driven, electronic, sounds, as well as droney, hypnotic elements. The LP is a true reflection of the Chinese American Bear ethos: open, curious, and lighthearted.
