china beats presents :: Dear Eloise

Something really really smooth for a lazy afternoon. This is what That's magazine had to say about the latest result of the sideline project by P.K.14's Yang Haisong with his better half, the band Dear Eloise (Qin'aide Ailuoyisi), titled 'Farewell to the Summer (Gen xiatian shuo zaijian)':

'The father of Mainland art-punk Yang Haisong has had a busy year. His iconic group P.K.14 are playing a pair of celebratory shows commemorating the vinyl reissue of their early double-whammy White Paper and Shui Shui Shui this weekend. 

He continues to flourish as a producer ... while returning to the iconic Beijing indie label as its full-time CEO. Despite the heavy schedule, he’s found time to record this charmingly lo-fi record with wife Sun Xia. 

Inscribed with a Herman Hesse quote on the cover, Dear Eloise’s third record is a spare poetic affair fuelled by jangly distorted guitars, layers of lingering hiss and simple memorable melodies. 

The couple effectively duet on songs like "Scenery" while tracks like "About the World That Behind Light" are propelled by Yang’s delicate fretwork.'

You can buy the album on Maybe Mars' Bandcamp site. Enjoy!
