Damn…how many bands do you know out of Asia that have hit the number 10 in the number of albums released? Let alone 11? Chinese post-rock giants Wang Wen just keep ’em knockin ’em out! The band has just released their 11th record.
“Composed and recorded during the pre-pandemic time, ‘100,000 WHYS’ Wang Wen’s 11th album, heaves with beauty and intelligence. Lush, inviting, drawing on new textures and dynamics for the band, the album conjures rejuvenation and hope while holding fast to the sense of awe that suffuses their work. Each track is a new, supple equation written out with a steady hand, exact but also exacting in details that variously emerge or erupt from the core to shift the listener’s perspective. This is a work born of clear thoughts stirring in busy minds. It’s also the most accessible album Wang Wen have produced so far, reaching out far to gather us all in close.
The name ‘100,000 WHYS ’comes from the English poet Kipling’s verse ‘One million Hows, two million Wheres, and seven million Whys!’.
‘Under the circumstance of 2020, nothing proves better than ‘100,000 WHYS’ . Though we are living with confusion, with no sense of settlement for the unknown future, we still hope to stay curious and inquisitive.’”
Like many of you, over the past couple of years, we’ve jumped into the podcast game. We started our own for a bit but it took way TOO much...
