i love when great asian bands come around. especially when ones like The Offset Spectacles, who moved from hong kong to a self secluded exile in a suburb of beijing, come around. a heavy influence from the velvet underground is apparent in their debut album, but what makes it stand out is it's sung entirely in cantonese, doesn't contain a hint of drums & forgoes over produced effects while letting the amps doing most of the talking.
(track 5 'the loop swing' is on repeat right now!)
