about

”So Dream It” is a new album by Beijing-based Canadian musician Simon Frank, featuring six original tracks, and remixes from Angel Wei and Lujiachi.

Simon occupies an unique position within Beijing’s music community, equally likely to be found playing live at dance club Zhao Dai and psychedelic rock dive Fruityspace. Inseparable from live performance and their author’s experience of the city, the songs on “So Dream It” fall between set categories, merging electronic post punk with acerbic acid house synth tones, and punctuating low-slung rhythms with sampled shouts and percussion.

While the music’s relentless propulsion and staccato bass lines recall EBM and seamier strains of Benelux synth pop, Simon’s lyrics sidestep the fantasies of power that often define these genres, opting instead for deflated self-deprecation as he depicts protagonists cracking under the pressure of a harsh urban environment.
