Seattle-based duo Chinese American Bear have revealed their new track, ‘Mama (妈妈)’. It’s a warm, endearing track that blends a groovy disco beat and distinctively choppy guitars, with hints of psychedelia in its distant, synthy texture. There’s a level of experimentalism to the way the duo make their music, but it’s rooted in extremely listenable pop. “I’ve always wanted to write a song with the phrase 'chi fan le',” says lyricist and vocalist Anne Tong. IIn Chinese families, every day revolves around meal times. Food is an extremely important part of the culture. Typically when a meal is cooked and ready to eat, moms will yell the phrase 'chi fan le', which translates to 'it’s time to eat!'. And every Chinese kid knows that Chinese moms hate it when you’re late to the meal table, so you better run to the table the first time 'chi fan le' is yelled.” The band are revealing their new album, Dim Sum & Then Some, on May 8th, 2026, via Moshi Moshi records.
