China Bears announce debut album 'Participation Trophy'

Having already cemented themselves with a wealth of highly-praised releases these last few years, China Bears have now announced their plans for their eagerly-awaited debut album, arriving later this year.

The new full-length 'Participation Trophy' is being previewed by the new lead single 'Easy Kill', which comes accompanied by a stunning new video, and is set to be released on the 12th July via Fierce Panda.

Speaking about the new offering, the band's Ivan said, "'Easy Kill' is a song about the initial hesitance that sometimes comes when letting others in, but ultimately celebrating vulnerability and being truly open around the people you care about. To love and be loved by someone can put you in a terrifyingly defenseless place. 'Easy Kill' challenges that feeling, that it is in fact a beautiful experience when two people feel so connected and close to one another, so much so that they’re both willing to risk enduring the pain that may come with the absence from one another."
