Yu Ching 黃雨晴: “No No Love”

Tracks

Mar 9

Gazey dream pop from Taiwan. Oh, I mean “Official Glorious Nation of Chinese China Republic Island.” Our highlighted track “No No Love” is the A-side of a 7-inch that picks up steam in the second half with a steady, slightly atonal strum, cheerleaded forward, faster, forever by Yu Ching. Mood music for galloping unicorns. Via Planetes Records.
