Lonely China Day s/t EP eats babies! LCD's self-titled EP hit U.S. record stores March 14th (beware!). If you live in the center of world cultural hegemony, you should be pestering that hot girl who works at your local record store right now to replace all the copies you bought for your friends and family and former lovers. If you don't live in America, what are you waiting for!? Hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals stream across America's unprotected borders every year for no better reason than to find a good life for their children by working in appalling conditions for substandard wages. At last, you too have a good reason to work the flesh off your hands so I can enjoy .99cent tacos: Lonely China Day. It will sound great in the break room while you scrounge for cigarette butts with a few puffs left on them, I promise. Who needs Socialized Health Care?! Lonely China Day heals all wounds! Or, if youre a pussy and you hate tacos, check out the online store at www.tagteamrecords.comwww.smashdisc.com
相关乐评 Lonely China Day - Sorrow. At the end of the day there should be nothing revolutionary about Chinese indie rock. Television, the press, and the internet should've helped bring things like Sigur Ros over to Beijing, and what with all the bootlegging over there it shouldn't be any surprise. But that doesn't diminish the quality of Lonely China Day at all, nor does it change the fact that this is probably the only Chinese indie rock band that I know. So it's lucky for them that they're actually quite a striking band, and that I love this song. With a title like sorrow and with that much passion in the vocals, it doesn't seem to matter so much that I dont speak Chinese. I think I have a pretty decent understanding of the song, or at least what it means to me. This song starts out slow -- a steady wood block, a quiet guitar line. It builds patiently until Deng Pei's vocals kick in, and then it's just beautiful. It's just a really cool song. It comes off their self-titled EP which was just released in March on Tag Team Records. The label's mission is to bring international indie rock to America. I like this mission. I think it's a good one. Man, the chorus on this is really good, huh? There's some subtle bits of programming going on in the background that really glue the whole thing together, and that little howl at the end is just fantastic. Great stuff. You can pick up the EP on the cheap direct from the label. I guess it's also available over in China at independent record stores. Highly recommended.
