  Chinese American Bear

  Chinese American Bear is a quirky, mando pop/synth pop duo based in Seattle, WA creating fun & eclectic bilingual English/Chinese ear candy. Composed of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, the couple creates groovy, and “not too serious, food loving” tunes in their home studio together. They’ve been described as the child of Melody’s Echo Chamber, The Flaming Lips, Dusty Springfield, and Care Bear, and their live show is like “a punk show for toddlers.”. The duo’s racked up over 1MM plays, and have been featured in VOGUE+, Under The Radar, DORK Magazine, praised by BBC Radio, KEXP, featured on Spotify Editorial Playlists like New in Indie, Chill Vibes, Fresh Finds Indie, Fresh Finds, and Chinese Indie Picks. Chinese American Bear’s sophomore album, Wah!!! (out October 18 via Moshi Moshi & Modern Sky China) exposes new listeners to Chinese flavors in their indie pop delicacy. They are set to tour the US, Canada, UK, and China at the end of 2024.
