Submerge yourself in sonic palaces simmering with life, valor, and curiosity - a world where everything has already happened and everything is already known - and one that can provide enlightenment - if only for a moment. LiveChinaMusic offers up musical reveries that traverse over dream pop, shoegaze, math rock, and noise pop with spirited aplomb and wide-eyed fervor. We’ve invited Aza’s Piper, out of Hangzhou, whose 2024 opus Δ - was one of our favorites - a grand ethereal take on shoegaze, post-rock, and synth-pop. Also visiting will be the unsung math-rock heroes of Nanjing - InfiniteNonsenseFear (Inf) - making a rare appearance. Finally, emerging Shanghai outfit Alone Together is one of the city’s most exciting new acts - crafting indie pop that hits that jangly 90s alt-rock sweet spot with a bullseye.
