Mr. Sea Turtle (海龟先生)

 

Star Horse(SE)
The music of Star Horse, shoegaze/dreampop band from Stockholm, is strongly reminiscent of the indie pop music in the 1990s. Maja, the vocal and guitarist, met Andreas in Tokyo. The duo clicked right away, and was determined to create something new from 90s shoegaze music what they love.

 

Once back in Sweden, they formed the band with Viktor, the bassist, and Samuel, the drummer. In their songs, the border between music and reality vanishes in the bright chords and the ethereal and pure vocals; yet the melodic bass and rhythmic drum beats can suddenly bring you back to the retro indie pop music.

 

Swim Deep(UK)
Wild and frenzy are the key words when it comes to Swim Deep. The band started from Britpop, but is constantly expanding under the influence of Ride and The Stone Roes, encompassing clean synthesizer and dreamy guitar lines in its music. Austin would hold a tambourine on stage, sing the upbeat melodies, and gave out fearless roars of “Birmingham is the king city!” At the moment, the young man’s boldness is bursting from the pure eyes of his.

 

Yogee New Waves(JP)
Born in Tokyo, Yogee New Waves is down-to-earth while boasting the sense of fashion typical of the young urbanites, which makes it an archetype of City pop. Since its birth, the band has been rapidly growing in its musical inclusiveness and professionalism in live performances.

 

In the past year, they went on the East Asia Tour with Sunset Roller-coaster, and collaborated with Phum Viphurit, a young Thai singer and songwriter. The lead singer had a cross-genre collaboration with VaVa, a Japanese hip-hop singer, by participating in the production of her new album.

Mr. Sea Turtle
15 years since its formation, Mr. Sea Turtle has been encompassing the styles of Ska, Punk, Grunge together and won listeners’ heart with their easy, upbeat and intimate live performances. Their one-of-a-kind aesthetic is a combination of sensitive eastern spirits and sexy western rock culture. Their music is filled with sincerity, sophistication, and introspection out of faith. Now, Mr. Sea Turtle has become one of the most original and recognized rock bands in China.
