Yin (音, “music”) is a weekly RADII feature that looks at Chinese songs spanning hip hop to folk to modern experimental, and everything in between. Drop us a line if you have a suggestion.
Rounding out the week in fresh music video coverage, here’s the debut MV from Guangzhou math rock unit Nein or Gas Mus:
The band’s first MV, appropriately enough entitled “1st,” was made for a song that was initially featured on Nerd Noise II, a compilation of trending indie rock, math rock, emo, and shoegaze from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, and Melbourne. “1st” is also the first single from Nein or Gas Mus’s forthcoming debut EP, which will be released by Guangzhou’s #1 purveyor of grassroots DIY music, Qiii Snacks Records.
You can pick up the self-titled debut on April 6 as a cassette, CD, or download. In the mean time, here’s a preview of the cover art:
