thumbgirl: the aesthetic of cute


卜算子 陌生的尘埃MV from ThumbGirl’s latest album, 伤花怒放

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.

ThumbGirl live in Beijing

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!
