    CHINESE JESUS reveals four very different and unique compositions for Say Bok Gwai. This EP expands the band’s music by having the duo move into areas of Jazz, Progressive, Satanic and Stoner Metal. Although SBG has always touched upon these genres, Chinese Jesus dives deeper by adding new instrumentation and overdubs to expand the dynamic of the duo.
