This was something unexpected to hear and need more Asians to root for.
Lucid Express is a band from Hong Kong who just got signed to Brooklyn, New York label Kanine Records.
Today the band dropped the leading single and music video for Wellwave.
The track is taken from their self-titled debut which comes out on July 16, 2021.
Wellwave is a throwback to the 90s dreamy shoegaze influence and vibe.
About the track
The track serves as a fitting introduction to the group and their home.
Through a flood of warm synth pads, and bright guitar lines, the band deliver a confident refusal to heed the pressure to conform in their local music scene.
Vocalist/synth player Kim meditates throughout on the lyrics “We’ll wave today, for you, we’ll disobey for sure.”
The track is accompanied by a video shot on Tai Mo Shan, the tallest mountain in Hong Kong, and features a performance from the band intercut with candid scenes from the surroundings.
The entire visual is given a nostalgic filter by being replayed and refilmed through the screen of an analog tv.
Wellwave gets:
/10.
