Wang Wen started together in Dalian, a coastal city of Northern China, almost 20 years ago in 1999. They have nine recorded albums, one OST for movie and one split record with Pg Lost from Sweden. With more than one record every two years, and a clear devotion to break through any past achievements every time, the band is recognized as the one leading instrumental rock band of China.

In 2016, Wang Wen recorded their ninth album in Dalian, the “Sweet Home, Go!”. The band worked with western producers for the first time, the Wouter and Lode brothers. This album included six long piece of instrumental works an one pure vocal song. They joined together into a solemn dirge with unique texture.

Many changes were made long after the recording, while the band members want to express more mixed emotions with conflicting story lines, the producers want to show a clear train of thoughts beneath it all. They achieved a delicate balance after much back and forth dragging. It is another search into the musical wilderness beyond Wang Wen’s own scope. The process of recording is also made into this documentary for your interest.
