梦甘醒 by 奶盖儿MilkGuard

This is our first EP attempt after changing our lineup. In the fall of 2023, the addition of two Taiwanese members allowed us to explore more possibilities in Chinese shoegaze. The richer syllables of Minnan dialect helped us find the perfect balance between the clarity and conciseness of Mandarin and the chaos of guitar walls.
This is a deeply personal EP. We don’t dwell on grand reflections of the world—only the fleeting romance of everyday life and a sweet journey wrapped in warm, dense fuzz. Meng Gam Xǐng comes from the lyrics of a song we didn’t record this time. In Minnan, “甘” (gam) means “whether.” When we question whether we are in a dream, we are already intoxicated in its sweetness. It is precisely this uncertainty in the face of the unknown that makes sadness and loneliness feel so precious.
This EP was recorded live in our rehearsal space, with mixing and mastering also done entirely by ourselves. Special thanks to the Nanjing University Rock Alliance Rehearsal Room—this is our home.
