Imagine the atmosphere of Twin Peaks' "Falling" combined with a lo-fi guitar & synth tune, a landscape from the abandoned industrial ruins of Dagang Oilfield (beach of Bohai Bay), China.

王子健 Wang Zijian is a lo-fi freak folk / spoken word musician. A beam of light in the misty night, a drop of blood on the grey ocean waves, a piece of poetry left on the wasteland.

For fans of early weird noisy folk releases on P.S.F. Records and some kind of haunting music you can not classify.

想象《雙峰》主題曲《Falling》的意境，但來自大港油田的大海和廢墟，低保真迷噪般的怪異民謠，機械鼓點和合成器，暗夜裏抖動的光束，絲絲扣入心裏，刀子或是繩索一般的吉他和弦，荒蕪的流行樂，低保真卻感人至深，詩化的歌詞，灰色海浪煙霧中的一滴鮮血，幻滅的情歌。

「我在清晨放下屠刀
奔向永無止境的荒原
身後的頭顱
就像堅硬的大石頭
你是聖潔無暇的天使
總是盤轉在我的頭頂
你用分裂的手掌
觸摸我的臉龐
永生吧 愛人
甩掉那些永遠真實的謊言
永生吧 情人
消解掉那些安靜美好的一切」
