Album Notes

Ming & Ping's 4th self-titled full-length album draws from dance music ranging from 80's new wave and freestyle to modern techno and IDM. With the eloquent lyrics, highly orchestrated vocal arrangements, and carefully crafted electronic compositions, identical twins Ming & Ping have created a musical journey through different urban settings in search of identity, interpersonal relationships, and connections to one's environment.

Ming & Ping’s sophisticated treatment of electronic-based songwriting and their attentiveness to lyricism have earned them comparisons to contemporary bands like Hot Chip and Postal Service while their youthful, melodic energy calls up dance-rockers Bloc Party and Shiny Toy Guns. Their awareness of self and environment recalls subject matter like that of classics Gary Numan, Pet Shop Boys or Depeche Mode while their cultural background gives them a unique perspective.
