Dabaoge 打包歌 is a Beijing-based website that seems to be inspired by the guys over at The Mahogany Sessions where they feature up and coming beijing bands in a seemingly spontaneous outdoor setting.

I’ve been trying to follow the mainland Chinese Indie music scene for sometime now and its utterly refreshing to see more new outfits daring to try out new music styles. Dabaoge looks to be a really exciting site to follow to keep track of the changing music scene in Beijing.

Blind Pilot is an indie folk band based out of Portland, Oregon. The band recently released their 2nd full-length album, “We Are The Tide” in September and we’ve been listening it for sometime now.

If you’re looking for something to listen to while you’re stuck at home with all the rain that’s pouring down due to the monsoon season, this should be in your playlist.

Good mix, nice acoustics and beautiful crafted lyrics.

Their first track from the album titled, “Half Moon” is a great introduction to the band for first time listeners. (Track embedded below)
