One of the shopping highlights of my recent Hong Kong trip was coming across the new CD by Wonfu. I first heard about them several years ago on the sadly defunct Chinese indie music blog, My Randomness, but never got around to buying any of their albums.
However, thanks to the latest issue of Giant Robot, which I brought along to read on the plane, I was reintroduced to this wonderful Taiwanese band. Evidently, they visited the U.S. last October as part of a cultural exchange program sponsored by the government of Taiwan. Needless to say that I'm bummed about missing their shows in Berkeley and San Francisco.
So when I saw their new CD, Wonfu Loves You, at a shop in Hong Kong, I snatched it right up. Their music is pure pop delight and — as they say on their MySpace page — sounds like a smiling face.
Here's one of my favorite songs from the album: "印倫情人" (Indian Lover).
