Beijing indie rock outfit Heat Mark - a staple of the Beijing scene has been dishing out their woozy and sultry garage punk for well over a decade now, coasting on tightly wound hooks and disarming charisma. Their fourth LP - Implosion - is a pulpy and at times irresistible welcome addition to the band’s robust yet buoyant catalogue. Dipping a bit more into the world of hypnagogic pop - hitting that sweet spot between 90s alt rock, breezy sun-bleached psych pop, and dance rock aplomb - there’s something soothing and reassuring in the pairing of Liu Pianpian’s raspy, airless voice and Wang Zhiwne’s refined, poppy riffs. Indie music at its trendiest and most scrumptious. Catch the band at Yuyintown this weekend.
