| 7 | IF WALLS COULD SING The Mini-Program Unlocking Soundtracks for Beijing,Shanghai and Shenzhen显示文摘Music is a well-known point of connection for cultures,groups and individuals-a language that brings us together whether that’s via traditions,shared experiences or taste.But in our day-to-day,it often keeps us from the noise of the surrounding city or the conversations that can be overheard at bus stops and on sidewalks.With headphones in,we often tune out the world around us,but for Musicity,their objective is to do the exact opposite. | Sarah Forman | 2018 | 城市漫步(GBA版)2018,,12: | 0 |

| 13 | CHINA MUSIC CORNER Three New Homegrown Albums on Our Radar This Month显示文摘OddF**kingGesture EP by Odd Gesture This garage-rock number from Indonesian band Odd Gesture,released on Shenzhen-based Boring Productions,harkens back to a time when the genre was dirtier,noisier and more guitar-heavy.It reminds you of something you might've heard if your parents were'cool'and have incredible(and embarrassing)photos to show for it now.With ballads like'Saccharine,'and double-timed tracks like‘I H8 Sharesprings',the EP runs the gamut of what you expected-and loved-about those that pioneered shaggy hair,thrashing rhythms and bruise-inducing crowds.The vaguely pop-punk lyrics and high-pitched vocals might be heavy for those that aren't quite ready to have a tooth knocked out in a mosh pit,but the more palatable sounds are a good way to ease yourself in. | Sarah Forman | 2019 | 城市漫步(GBA版)2019,,1: | 0 |

| 16 | CHINA MUSIC CORNER Three New Homegrown Albums on Our Radar This Month显示文摘Lonely Perfection by Yannick Barman Jazz trumpet and electronic music come together in Yannick Barman's fourth studio album,and Ran Music's first release of 2019.The Swiss musician recorded the songs during his residency in Shanghai and Beijing,drawing on his experience of loneliness and traveling in a foreign country,while painting a futuristic musical landscape.In recent years,many genres have begun to champion the trumpet,but what Barman's done in combining his classical training with computational composition is a unique take on the brass instrument.He's recorded,mixed and mastered the album himself,making the product entirely his own.At a low BPM,the tracks are not exactly danceable,but would likely make for a memorable live show combined with the art-ist's penchant for performative audiovisual effects. | Sarah Forman | 2019 | 城市漫步(GBA版)2019,,2: | 0 |
