Our Take

Hello my fellow music aficionados, today we are diving into the sonic depths of the latest offering from Chinese post-rock outfit Wang Wen, titled "100,000 Whys." Strap in, because this album is a wild ride from start to finish.

From the opening track, "A Mirror of Serpents," Wang Wen showcase their ability to blend swirling guitars, haunting vocals, and pulsating rhythms into a mesmerising whirlwind of sound. It's like being trapped in a kaleidoscope of music, and I never want to escape.

The album is a sonic journey that takes the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions. From the melancholic beauty of "Red Wall and Black Wall" to the triumphant crescendo of "Silent Bark," Wang Wen prove themselves to be masters of creating dynamic and evocative soundscapes.

But it's not all serious business with these guys. Tracks like "Bubble" and "Petrichor" inject a playful energy into the mix, making sure that the listener never gets too lost in the introspective depths of the music.

Overall, "100,000 Whys" is a triumph for Wang Wen. It's a bold and ambitious album that showcases the band's unique blend of post-rock and experimental sound. So do yourself a favour and give it a listen. Trust me, you won't regret it.
