About this episode
The episode features the Seattle duo Chinese American Bear and their hypnotic track 'Chant' from the album 'Dim Sum & Then Some'.
The Seattle based duo Chinese American Bear is Lingbo Ann Tong and Bryce Barsten. Lingbo is Chinese by birth, and Bryce grew up on a llama farm. Together, they build Mandarin and English lyrics into their kaleidoscopic brand of alt pop. We're loving this hypnotic piece from their latest album Dim Sum & Then Some. It's called Chant and it's Today's Top Tune.
