Chinese American Bear (华裔美国熊) is a lighthearted and quirky mandopop duo from Seattle, WA creating fun & eclectic bilingual English/Chinese ear candy. Comprised of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, the married couple creates groovy, and “not too serious, food loving” tunes in their home studio together. Their sound—somewhere between Melody’s Echo Chamber, The B-52’s, The Flaming Lips, and a hypercolor cartoon—has earned millions of streams and global acclaim. They've been featured in VOGUE+, Paste Magazine, Under The Radar, DORK Magazine, praised by BBC Radio, KEXP (#1 album), #30 in Top 200 NACC, featured on the cover of Spotify Editorial Playlist Fresh Finds (#1), along with dozens of other Editorial Playlists. They've toured extensively across North America, UK, and China, and on support for popular bands like Poppy, Greer, and more.
The Controversial New 'Skinny Pill' is a band in Minneapolis, that does non-drowsy, hypnagogic, psychedelic social pop. Utilizing lo-fi straight-to-tape recording strategies, band lead Skyler Nowinski (Rupert Angeleyes, Loud Sun, Joey Joey Michaels) creates warm and woozy, wah-wah drenched, relentlessly rhythmic party songs and weirdo pop grooves joined by Mariel Olivera (XOXOTech, IE) on synths, Dan Dukich (Daniel Bonespur) on bass, Alana Horton (Alone-A, Tony Peachka, Bella Yaga) on drums, and Sergio Hernandez (Phantom Tails) on auxiliary percussion.
