You know Snapline's debut album released in 2007 was produced by Martin Atkins.
Party Is Over, Pornostar is one of the very first records to represent Beijing's new century indie scene with no-wave and post-punk influences. However, the sonic experience you get here is not just a reproduction of the past decades, but something much more fun and it's almost like pleasure.
Two of them are also members of The Carsick Cars.

The emotional voice of youth is becoming a new tradition in the city known as the Punk Capital of China.
Silly Function belong to a new generation of bands and have released an EP on Inago Records, a young label also founded in Wuhan in 2017. They are the ones who deserve more attention.

Early Park will make you think about the past and experience the future at the same time. The five-piece from Changsha seem to be paying homage to 80s indie-pop bands like The Sundays on Rough Trade. Or they might remind you of Life Without Buildings in the 2000s. Their debut album has already been released on 2022 Apr. It's not too late, so don't miss out.

Planning to make a playlist of recent Chinese Krautrock. Let me know if you have any recommendations.

Why are Chinese indie rockers embracing krautrock? Although there are several hypotheses, none of them is certain.

Many of them studied in Germany
Zhang Shouwang's White influence
"Progressive" translated into Chinese as "前卫(前avant卫garde)"
In search of Joy Division's roots
Suggestions by Ricky Maymi

Considering "Kroutrock" as the theme of the next issue of my CHINESE POSTPUNK ANTHOLOGY.
It might also be a broader "progressive rock", but I don't decide yet.

"The capital of Poland is Shanghai" from the yourboyfriendsucks! reunion gig in Guangzhou, their hometown, on 5 February. Here you can see how much they are loved. Even though never listened to them in real time, I can't help but feel a little dizzy.

Chen Sijiang of Chengdu indie rock band Hiperson, whose singing style is reminiscent of Tom Verlaine, has also been described as a female version of Yang Haisong, the P.K.14 singer known as China's Sonic Youth. Isn't that interesting?

Although I've published my own, there are many good playlists that focus on Chinese post-punk. For example, I would recommend The Sound of Chinese Post-punk from Sound of Spotify, which covers the scene across the country over the last 20 years and gives you a broad overview.

I try to represent the different scenes by changing the cover artist every update to show the over 20 years history and diversity of Chinese post-punk.
So, where should I go next?

Guangzhou's indie rock scene has strong links with Taiwan and Hong Kong, so focusing solely on mainland music might miss the whole picture.
Named after a Sonic Youth classic, Harbour Records' Teenage Riot are a Hong Kong indie rock band. It is clear that Midwest emo, UK indie and dream pop were the common language of the South Coast region.

The drama Three-Body (三体), a live-action adaptation of Liu Jixin's sci-fi novel of the same name, has started on Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
More surprising news is that Re-TROS 重塑雕像的权利 Beijing post-punks have simultaneously released a song of the same name as the programme's theme song.
Unfortunately, those of us who are not premium members of a music streaming service have no way of listening to it from outside the country so far.
