Chinese American Bear, the Seattle-based duo of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, share new single ‘Turn Up The Radio (把收音机开大点)’ – a joyful final preview of upcoming album Dim Sum & Then Some, out May 8 via Moshi Moshi Records.

“We often write these songs that verge on being kids songs, and this is one of them,” Barsten explains, speaking on the release of ‘Turn Up The Radio (把收音机开大点)’.

“I love this contrast of it sounding so childish, but then we do things in the production that throw it off from being real ‘Kids Music.’ ‘Turn Up The Radio’ is like a kids song for adults, a line we often like to blur. It’s all sunshine and good vibes, a true bop, bubble-gum pop, with a hint of psychedelic sunshine magic.”

Tong elaborates: “This was a fun and quick one to write! Since this song has a happy upbeat vibe, we decided that we wanted to list all of our favorite things in the verses that bring us joy, instead of telling a story. It was a little bit inspired by ‘My Favorite Things’ from ‘The Sound of Music.'”
