Chinese American Bear release new album 'Dim Sum & Then Some' out TODAY via Moshi Moshi

Chinese American Bear, the Seattle-based duo of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, today release their new album 'Dim Sum & Then Some' via Moshi Moshi Records. The band have also shared the focus track 'I Wanna Go Home' as well as a full album YouTube stream of the band making dumplings here. 'Dim Sum & Then Some' is an 11 track joyride that sees the band continue with their trademark brand of indie pop, while furthering their sonic horizons.

Chinese American Bear embark on UK, EU and North American tour dates starting next week, culminating in a show at Oslo Hackney in London on 24th September, including appearances at The Great Escape, Dot To Dot and London Calling (NL) this month. Full tour date info and tickets can be found HERE, with shows in Washington, D.C., Berlin, and Toronto already sold out.

The album release follows previously released singles 'Turn Up The Radio (把收音机开大点)', 'Mama (妈妈)', 'No No Yeah Yeah (不不好啊好啊)' and 'All The People (所有人)' - earning praise and support from BBC 6 Music's Lauren Laverne and Nick Grimshaw, Apple Music's Matt Wilkinson, The Needle Drop, FLOOD, KEXP, The Line of Best Fit, Notion, Hard of Hearing Magazine and more.

Following the success of their 2024 full-length 'Wah!!!' - new album 'Dim Sum & Then Some' showcases a more musically dense and exploratory vision, marking a sonic evolution for the duo. Delving further into experimental territory while embracing more traditional pop elements than ever before, the album forms a positive and lighthearted collage of the duo’s life together - exploring food, small joys, Chinese-American upbringing, love, and fantasy.

Blending warbling guitars with hints of psychedelia, pop, disco and strings - alongside synth-driven electronics and droney, hypnotic textures - 'Dim Sum & Then Some' reflects the Chinese American Bear ethos: open, curious and lighthearted.

Chinese American Bear's new album 'Dim Sum & Then Some' is out now via Moshi Moshi Records.
