Nasty Wizard Recordings, based in Beijing, is presenting the nastiest China Shoegaze Compilation ever put to tape. On the China Shoegaze Compilation, we’ve gathered some of the scene’s most enthralling acts, including The White Tulips, City Flanker, The Sound & The Fury, and Forsaken Autumn. So lean back, let the waves of distortion wash over, the vocals and melodies melt into the background, and dream the day away.
China, a country whose rapid development has left a generation of young adults in a daze, ain’t no stranger to nostalgia. Whether from the southern shoreline city of Xiamen, the booming Western hub that is Chengdu, the metropolis wonder that is Shanghai, or the historical hotbed of Shaoxing, shoegaze is alive and well, enveloping listeners in a wall of sound.
Shoegaze and nostalgia go hand in hand. It’s yearning, wistful, and bittersweet – traits we often attribute to a time when we were young at heart. When a fleeting moment, a glance, or even a ray of sun bouncing off the dashboard of your car could take on otherworldly meaning. Reality becomes distorted as time and space bleed into one another

少年不識愁滋味，為賦新詞強說愁。好似灑脫卻充滿框架，好似追求、期盼什麼卻只是不斷印證自己的可笑一般。其實就是醜奴兒自己心裡的對話與拉扯，希望能藉由歌詞的意境，讓悲傷的人看見自己的模樣，在片刻抒發後，認清自我。總體而言，文字創作的方面，我們希望以文字作為一面鏡子反面對照自我，也許表面較為負面但期盼人們依舊能意識到作為一個「人」不該遺忘的本質。

创作出来的音乐大概是混响加得有点太多的弱智流行歌，配上用中文/英文/德语写的白痴歌词，加入一点点因为不知道这里应该要弹什么所以乱来一下的吉他噪音。
