From Chui Wan 2017 Album "The Landscape the Tropics Never Had".

This album, Chui Wan’s third, is the clearest crystallization of the band’s sound yet - as crystals do, it refracts the seen world into a rainbow of perceptions, a cold burn moving fluidly across time and space, steeped in influence but sounding always, inescapably new, now. Strict rhythmic repetition - a matter of both discipline and artistry - has always given the band its backbone, and the steady ground here serves as a foundation for higher highs, a dynamic tension that holds taught across the entire album.

Celebrated Beijing psych-rock band Chui Wan release their third album, a complex and exploratory record called The Landscape the Tropics Never Had. Don't miss their Beijing show at Yugong Yishan on Friday night. Map of Yugong Yishan.

Chui Wan vocalist Yan Yulong points this out slyly before explaining the extended length of all the songs on the celebrated band’s intriguing third album, The Landscape the Tropics Never Had. In doing this album, we did not want to do a ‘concept album’ or an album with a unified ‘theme,’ he explains. But these six songs have one thing in common: longer length. In the rehearsal room, we wanted to take a song’s first idea and develop it as much as possible.

Beijing psych quartet Chui Wan are back with their signature lackidaze on The Landscape the Tropics Never Had, their third studio album and grainiest collection of confected synapse waxers to date. All bright beige and dazzling downer chords, the title track shows the path that Chui Wan’s been treading from the release of their self-titled sophomore album to now, out from the snow but further into the cold, collected and dispersed like light through crystal
