Xi’an’s Rats & Pears are the latest band to ride the post-punk movement in China, bringing a taut feminist touch to the genre on Well of Shame. Released with Maybe Mars and produced by none other than Yang Haisong of PK14 fame - there’s a fierce conviction to how the band tackles the genre - adding a dash of Middle-Eastern instrumentation, swelling saxophone courtesy of Li Zenghui, and a rhythm section that’ll quicken your pulse - all while covering topics of identity - a tsunami of doubt, perseverance, and list - with poetic flair. The band is in the midst of a nationwide tour, supported by remerging Shanghai post-punk outfit Fiery Medusa.
