A killer one-two combo punch over at Yuyintang Park. Hometown rock heroes Poetry in Shorts return! Rustic, poppy rock and roll infused with high-wire, 'busting at the seams' melodies brushing up against a softer anthemic blues magnetism, Poetry in Shorts’ music is both instrumentally and lyrically rich. Meanwhile, Guangzhou’s Sprint Nouvelle is a strangely beguiling new addition to China’s music scene - a delightfully offbeat offering of avant-pop act that calls to mind everyone from Rufus Wainwright to Bane’s World. From the vintage synthesizer sounds that give the tracks a lofi bedroom pop feel to the jazzy hip-hop grooves that float around the edges of each track - the whole endeavor is held afloat by frontman Huhu’s almost operatic intonation - flamboyantly charming and a perfect compliment to the abstract, wistful and theoretical world their music resides in.
