Release Notes:

If Ií»m In Love With You for the first time collects TOWí»s compositions in a 
stab at putting this mercurial and intoxicating dual energy on record. Ití»s a 
semi-narrative fairy tale probing dark, del-icate depths. You can hear traces of 
each artist's former bands throughout the album í¬ Ourself Beside Me in the 
intricate guitar melody and low-key bossa-nova beat kicking off the title track, 
The Molds in closer í░Twice Lost Woman,í▒ a spoken-word dirge with lyrics 
written by Liu Ge and delivered in his unmistakable baritone.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
But Yang & Liu lock together in a unique way as TOW, a special mix cohering on 
sonically dense, thudding tracks like the synth-led, poetically opaque mid-album 
cut í░Behind the Sun.í▒ If Ií»m In Love With You seems to tell a story, but 
details are hard to decipher. Lyrics can be haunt-ingly dark, as on í░Sugar 
Daddyí▒; reflectively venomous, as on í░Shitty Handí▒; deceptively escapist, as 
on í░Little Medicine Girl.í▒ Dream-state psychology permeates the album, giving 
it a sticky mys-ticism, an unflinching inward gaze. í░Into my dream with your 
yellow wings,í▒ Yang Fan sings on the mournful and plaintive í░Until the Day,í▒ 
a gripping meditation on rejection. If Ií»m In Love With You is, ultimately, 
a conditional statement, a floating point of reference that engrosses with its 
mature vision, exquisitely articulated sonic textures, and evocative lyrical 
imagery.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
TOW is the duo of Yang Fan and Liu Ge, two pioneers of Beijing underground music. 
Yang initial-ly carved a space for herself in Beijingí»s late í«90s punk scene 
as a teenager. As she matured as a musician, she led her own group, Ourself 
Beside Me, releasing a seminal document of the mid-í»00s Beijing rock scene in 
their self-titled 2009 album. Ourself Beside Me often shared the stage with 
Liuí»s psych-tinged rockabilly group, The Molds, who released one EP in their 
initial run, 2008í»s ironically titled A Cowboy Never Saw A Horse.
