mui zyu

As mui zyu [pronounced ”moy joo”], Hong Kong British artist Eva Liu searches for a portal, wandering between nothing and everything in her pursuit of peace. She constructs compositions by blending phantasmagorical strings with tape-mangled drum machines and traditional Chinese instruments to create an unnerving sonic foundation where sugary pop melodies can contrast on top creating an existential balm through music.

While her debut album, ’Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century’ delved into identity and cultural displacement, the new sophomore LP, ’nothing or something to die for’ (out May 24, 2024 via Father/Daughter) addresses the chaos of contemporary existence looking outward.
