By way of a sequel to the recent White<\/strong> post, Ourself Beside Me<\/strong> are the second of the two tangents that emerged following the split of Beijing’s Hang On The Box<\/strong>. Whilst Shenggy drifted off to join White with Carsick Cars<\/strong>‘ Shou Wang, Box founder Yang Fang connected with two new collaborators, bassist and film student Xie Han and Japanese drummer, Emi Namihara.<\/p>\n Plundering Pink Floyd’s back catalogue (whilst aimlessly fingering CDs from Siouxsie, Can and Talking Heads on the side), Ourself Behind Me are barely over a year in the making, but were swift to drop their self-titled debut, produced by PK14’s Yang Haisong and released in January this year on the Maybe Mars<\/a> label. By no means delivering a genre-bending incursion into new territory, Ourself Beside Me nonetheless construct a compelling extension to a road previously mapped by a number of significant others, and lend further weight to the notion that the Beijing water is currently laced with something deliriously special.<\/p>\n Ourself Beside Me – Medicine Girl<\/strong> | mp3<\/a><\/p>\n
