Today, Seattle duo Chinese American Bear—married musicians Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten—have released the latest single from their new album, Wah!!!. “Kids Go Down” is a youthful dance track, aptly arriving like a fairytale turned psychedelic. Tong’s vocal is captured brightly, and her repetition of “shake it off” rings in like a glitchy declaration. The pop tones are bubbly and perfect, as Tong and Barsten charm through a cute, intoxicating melody. “Kids go down, kids go down,” Tong sings over and over while Barsten’s synths wrap around her. It’s an enchanting five minutes.
