Luuv Label - the ever-dependable tastemakers with their finger on the pulse - put the spotlight on some of the indie scene’s unsung acts, as well as its freshest blood. A stellar lineup led by Aza’s Pipper. Dream pop with a sci-fi edge - shoegaze with a fantastical narrative thrust - no matter how you want to paint it - the Hangzhou band is a truly original act that isn’t afraid to get caught up in its whimsy and grand displays of emotion - traversing across sublime walls of sound, effervescent synthesizers, and pitched-up elfish vocals that feel like a cross between Studio Ghibli and Avatar. They join Suzhou’s Clay Doll, who, wrapped in a blanket of tender indie pop and slow-grooving surf rock, look to infuse their shoegaze-infused dream pop palette with breezy sun-kissed charm. Rounding out the lineup is Shanghai's young Midwest emo ruffians, lastwejust… who imbue their music with a scrappy magnetism that’s sincere above all else.
