The team behind the record labels Preference Records and The Village is here with an internet radio program.
This month’s episode features the band XINXIN.
XINXIN, pronounced “chin-chin”, is a wholesome yet fierce, genre-bending quartet who interplay expressively to channel the energy and honesty of the universal “child within”. From the suburbs of LA and the Inland Empire, Janize Ablaza (Vocals, guitar), Stephen Reed (drums), Carlos Elias (bass), and Jonah Huang (Keyboards), strive to convey the range of the human experience in their music in which insecurity, humility, trauma, and peace coexist. This philosophy is paralleled by their eclectic influences, including grunge, jazz, metal, RnB, and electronic music.
The four-piece debuted their first full-length album ‘Xinxin’ with Preference Records in November of 2020 which included their singles ‘Trust’ and ‘Control’ which received heavy rotation on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic. In 2023, Xinxin followed with their singles ‘In Perfect Time’ and ‘Clarity.’ Their latest single, ‘Red Flags,’ will be released on September 17, 2024. The band hopes you’ll enjoy it in your setting of choice – perhaps in your car, on your way home from a long a** day of work, or while cooking yourself a nice meal.
On Sept 17th, the quartet released their latest single and a crowd favorite, “Red Flags”, available to stream everywhere now.
