Chinese American Bear is a C-pop duo, currently based in Seattle, who create eclectic bilingual (English/Chinese) ear candy. Composed of married couple Bryce Barsten and Anne Tong, the pair make music that blends Chinese mando-pop and the Western indie pop canon, writing songs that flit between English and Mandarin, capturing a spirit of cross-cultural joy and longing, that is often poignant while never losing it's sense of fun.hey've been described as if The Flaming Lips, Dusty Springfield, and The Beach Boys had a baby with Care Bear. The album is full of comedy, groove, quirk, and cuteness with melodically rich instrumentation, bits of psychedelia, doses of funk, and a lot of lyrics about filling up your belly with food.
