Chengdu's Fayzz are bringing their intricate and groovy instrumental rock back to Shanghai on the heels of their excellent new album, Patch. Known for their tight, dynamic performances that blend math rock, jazz, and post-rock, this is one of the most reliable and engaging instrumental acts in the country right now.

Intrepid Chengdu instrumental rock outfit Fayzz returns to Shanghai on their nationwide tour for their third full-length album, Patch. The band's new work is elastic in its grooves and rich in its details, presenting wondrous and dizzying arrangements with a warm, intimate feel.

From the manga-inspired breakbeat propulsion of ‘Hollow’ to the starry-eyed ambience of ‘Forlorn Hope’, the band sounds bolder in their experimentation without sacrificing any of their harmonic soul. Fayzz deftly jumps into the fray with a sound that defies easy algorithms, finding greener pastures around every corner and offering a boundless freedom to explore within their sonic vistas.

Since the impressive release of their debut album Connection and the critically acclaimed follow-up Days Gone, Fayzz has built a dedicated following through their exceptional recordings and masterful live performances. Unrestrained by genre, their music is a distinctive fusion that leverages the freedom of indie rock, using math rock rhythms and jazz elements as a starting point. They conceal a post-rock wistfulness within a refreshing and comfortable sound, all the while experimenting with new techniques and arrangements.

Their last national tour saw several cities sell out, a testament to their robust and highly infectious live show. Their fresh and pleasant-sounding, intricately layered instrumentals trade relaxed vibes and tension to create a powerful sonic intensity. Don't miss your chance to experience one of the touchstones of the current Chinese instrumental rock scene.
