Wah!!! by Chinese American Bear
'Wah!!!' is the second album from Seattle-based duo Chinese American Bear, released October 18th on Moshi Moshi.
Chinese American Bear’s sophomore album Wah!!! is an accumulation of delicious ear candy songs that have been crafted over the past two years. Written, produced, and mixed by the duo (Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten) themselves at their home studio in Seattle, WA, the album is full of comedy, groove, quirk, and cuteness, all packed into an 11 song album that keeps you smiling the whole way through. Wah!!! has melodically rich instrumentation, bits of psychedelia, doses of funk, and a lot of lyrics about filling up your belly with food.
The album title “Wah!” is the Chinese version of “Wow!”. It’s used in the exact same exclamatory way. The duo found it fitting as their next album title because the expression simply matches their excitement for these songs.
Words from the duo: “This album is another collage of songs that we wrote, produced and mixed over a period of two years (2022-2023). Mostly in our little home studio. We love these songs, they’re fun, spunky, a little rough around the edges, and not really about anything in particular. We like that. We like to write what makes us smile on any particular day. Food, love, friends, and funny bits about our lives. We are so excited to play these songs live, and put on crazy concerts with an army of dancing dumplings.”
