Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten add a layer of fantasy to familiar themes of cozy domestic bliss and Chinese comfort foods. A married couple who have been together since high school, Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten wrote their first songs together as a novelty while Barsten was learning Mandarin. Before long, they formed the duo of Chinese American Bear, with playful indie-pop anthems sung in both Mandarin and English that drew from ’60s psych-rock, late-aughts dance pop, and the whimsy of children’s cartoons. Their third album, Dim Sum & Then Some, adds a layer of fantasy to familiar themes of cozy domestic bliss and Chinese comfort foods. With songs that bridge the gap between MGMT and Mandopop, the duo imagine a utopia composed of sun-soaked beach days (“Lovely Day”), strawberry fields forever (“I Wanna Go Home”), and “puppies, mochi, and butterflies” (“Turn Up the Radio”). Chant-along choruses are yelped in both English and Mandarin, and the adorable meter occasionally ventures into the red zone, as on closing number “Chinese American Bear Anthem”: “Bear days are the bestest days/Come with us, paw in paw.”
