CHINESE FOOTBALL - Continue? 12" (Dark Blue Vinyl)

Label: Dog Knights Productions

Following the 2017 EP "Here comes a new challenger!" Chinese Football released the new EP "Continue?" in 2019, as the second part of the "Game Trilogy", the protagonist of the game is still the one you are familiar with, Hot-blooded but sensitive Teenager.

With a production that's just a tad more Lo-fi than their previous efforts, they totally deliver with a set of tracks that flows pretty well from beginning to end, from an atmospheric and emotional intro up to the energetic Math Rock explosion of Monster. You'll find a lot of great ideas here like beautiful guitar melodies and cathartic crescendos (these two elements combine for the best in Dog's Diary's climax, probably the most beautiful track of the entire thing), infectious bass lines (Adventure Island), making this their most focused release yet, and the one where they're sounding the most like a band with its own identity (although still heavily influenced by iconic bands of their style, but you get the point).
