島嶼心情

**島嶼心情 (Island Mood)**

Hailing from Xi’an, China, 島嶼心情 is a four-piece indie rock band that’s been crafting introspective tunes since forming in 2007. With members Liu Yijian (vocals/guitar), Zhang Long (guitar), Heang Ruixue (bass), and Xie Xing (drums), their sound blends gritty rock energy with poetic lyricism, often reflecting on modern anxieties and the quiet chaos of everyday life. They gained wider recognition after appearing on the 2020 music competition show *The Big Band*, where their raw, melodic tracks resonated with listeners craving authenticity.

Known for tracks like “螻蟻” (Ants) and “錯拍人生” (Offbeat Life), 島嶼心情’s recent releases—including the dreamy “一個清醒的夢” (A Lucid Dream) and the reflective “除夕” (New Year’s Eve)—showcase their knack for pairing catchy guitar hooks with existential musings. Their music feels like late-night conversations with old friends: a mix of vulnerability, resilience, and a dash of Shaanxi rock grit. Keep an eye on these guys—they’re the real deal in China’s indie scene.
