Every raindrop has a thunderous sound – says Chinese psychedelic group Fishy Tale, whose debut EP will take hold of your psyche.

A Fishy Tale (有话), out of Guangzhou don’t so much shed their indie shoegaze roots as subvert them, dragging them into a neo-psychedelic world – one that spans elements of alt rock, folk, krautrock, world music, and more.

While bookended by tracks of supple tranquility, the meat of the band’s debut EP, “话​音​刚​落 As the Words Drop”, produced by Shen Zhi (of Railway Suicide Train and YePeng) who also jumps behind the drums and synths for some tracks, crackles with a malignant energy, one that takes hold of your psyche.

As the band states, ‘every raindrop has a thunderous sound,’ – prepare to get soaked.
