After five years, the Beijing based independent band "The Twenties" returns with their second full-length album, "Mindful Chaos." This album is an intriguing and playful collection, capturing peculiar, witty, and somewhat illogical ideas. It humorously expresses the complexities and imperfections of human nature. Throughout the album, you'll experience those strange yet inevitable emotions and thoughts that arise deep within. While they might not be widely accepted, they remain an integral part of human existence. To make things right, you need to feel it.
"Mindful Chaos" continues the smooth melodies, alternative rock, and lo-fi haze that characterised their debut album "The Twenties." Tracks like "Just Like Your Mother" and "Swim with Whales" seem to transport us back to the tape-listening days of the '90s. Meanwhile, "Alarming Situation" and "Silence in the Car" delve profoundly and playfully into the inner turmoil of encountering someone you like, feeling overwhelmed, and eventually choosing to escape, akin to a form of paranoid neurosis. In addition to that, the album showcases some new breakthroughs in its arrangement. The Twenties, known for English compositions, sincerely presents five Chinese songs on this new album. On the instrumental side, the band ventures into more diverse orchestrations, such as using vintage game-like synthesisers in "Sunflowers" and crafting the wickedly chaotic yet organised “Gao Hua Er."
"Mindful Chaos" remains an independent production, with the digital album set to be released on August 3, 2023.
An indie rock band based in Beijing, consisting of Findy Zhao (Vocals, guitar), Wang Dongyang (guitar), Zhan Jiabao (Bass) and Xiao Jiang (Drums).
