Chinese American Bear

Seattle-based Chinese American Bear is a quirky, experimental, mandopop duo creating Chinese / English ear candy. Their debut self-titled album came out on July 8th, 2022 via Modern Sky in China (China’s largest indie record label), and self-released elsewhere. They've been described as the child of Melody's Echo Chamber, The Flaming Lips, Dusty Springfield, and The Care Bears. The duo prides themselves on being completely DIY. They write, produce, engineer and mix everything themselves. They often combine retro sounds from the 60's/70's, with lighthearted lyrics about food, flying through space, and other topics that don't take themselves too seriously. Their live show is a host of frenetic energy, quirk, and cuteness - almost like a punk show for children - and features live dancing dumplings, bears, and other costumed performers.
