Based in Beijing but tracing its influences back to the UK’s Sarah Records, ThumbGirl (拇指姑娘) is China’s first tweepop band. Like their name - a translation of Thumbelina - their sweet and gentle music evokes a child’s sense of wonder. This is a band that makes Belle and Sebastian look edgy.

You can listen to their music either at their charming website or on MySpace.
I first discovered ThumbGirl when my classmate’s band, The Big Picture, opened for them at a show. Check out both bands!
