Three years after releasing their debut album, White Night, Chui Wan brings
their sophomore, self-titled album into the world.
Over the last few years, Chui Wan has progressed with a new drummer, Li Zichao,
while its core members í¬ bassist Wu Qiong, guitarist Liu Xinyu, and
vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Yan Yulong í¬ have striven to perfect their
musical ideas. On Chui Wan, the focus is less on the unbridled, reverb-drenched
inflections of White Night, drawing more from the band's wide palette of
influences, including Sufi music, Southeast Asian folk tunes, and 20th-century
avant grade composition. With confident, driving rhythm, they aim to embody a
pop-influenced idiom of rock music, creating their own musical language in the
process. Beyond the infectious melodic hooks on Chui Wan lies a near-constant
fluctuation of beat and tempo, a deliberate maneuver calculated to create a
simultaneous sense of fluidity and disjuncture.
Compared with White Night, Chui Wan's sophomore album is structurally more
complicated, yet simpler and more direct in its studio approach. It eschews
White Night's complex, repeated overdubs and adds more intricate lyrical work,
which reflects the dynamic of calm and tension that stands out in Chui Wan's
live performances.
Chui Wan's guest musicians also contribute significantly to the album's distinct
temperament. You can hear the trademark noise guitar wails of psychedelic free
improv master Li Jianhong on the album's closing track, "Beijing Is Sinking".
The album also contains a hidden gift: a remix of the second track,
"Estivation", by Dead J, one of Beijing's most established and progressive
electronic music producers. Dead J's "Estivation" remix is a minimal, ambient,
rhythmically more angular take on the original.
It is also worth mentioning that Chui Wan bassist Wu Qiong lends her vocal
abilities to "On the Other Ocean" and "Silence". Her voice adds rich choral
accents to the album, a long-player already brazen in its Baroque sonic
ornamentations.
