GOLDEN MELODY AWARDS NOMINEES Some of the most exciting Chinese music being made now is by bands and the proof is in the nominee list for the Golden Melody Awards' Best Musical Group category.
The songs invoke the deities and draw on a heady mix of linguistic and musical elements from Hakka culture, Tibet, Mongolia and beyond, including the use of traditional instruments such as the piercing suona. The results sizzle with energy and musicality. The powerful track Gods Are Watching bemoans the evil that men do. The tone is not exactly worshipful either when it comes to the deities:"The gods are watching, but they are short-sighted/Icy and weak limbs, time to retire."
The anime influence extends from the cover art to the songs on their imaginative debut Mandarin album, which bear riotous titles like Chaos Of Donuts and Chocolate Adventure.
