Chui Wan is a psychedelic rock band hailing from Beijing, China. The group, named after a sixth-century Chinese poet whose name translates to "the ecstasy-seeking," was founded in the late 2000s by multi-instrumentalist Yan Yulong and bassist Wu Qiong. With a sonic landscape blending the abstract and the hypnotic, their music reflects a fusion of psychedelic rock with more avant-garde and experimental tendencies. Chui Wan's sound is characterized by the use of traditional Chinese instruments alongside guitars and synthesizers, creating a unique semblance of past meeting future.
Over the years, Chui Wan has garnered acclaim for pushing the boundaries of contemporary music in China. They have released several albums and singles that showcase their evolution in sound and composition. Their recent releases include "繾綣溫柔 33EMYBW remix," which is a remixed version of their work by renowned electronic artist 33EMYBW, "眼," a single that dives deep into the enigmatic and dream-like realms, "熱帶從未有過的風景," which translates to "Scenery of the Tropics Never Had Before," further expanding their exploration of musical textures, and "白夜," or "White Night," reflecting the band's continued interest in exploring the interplay between light and shadow, tranquility and chaos in their music. Chui Wan continues to be a prominent figure in the Chinese underground music scene and internationally, representing an innovative and cutting-edge approach to music making.
