Fine China

Fine China is an indie pop/dream pop project that emerged from Phoenix, Arizona, in the late '90s, blending jangly guitars, lush synths, and introspective lyrics. Masterminded by singer-songwriter Rob Withem, the band became a standout in the early-2000s indie scene with their melancholic yet melodic sound, often drawing comparisons to The Smiths and New Order. After releasing cult-favorite albums like *When the World Sings* (2000) and *The Jaws of Life* (2003), Fine China went on hiatus before resurfacing in the 2010s with renewed energy. Their 2019 comeback album *Not Thrilled* (featuring tracks like "Gonna Need a Vacation" and "Rialto Bridge") showcased their signature bittersweet charm, while recent singles like "Every Nerve Alert" and "Eyes in the Water" continue to deliver shimmering, emotionally resonant pop for fans of nostalgic yet timeless indie vibes.
