Gong Gong GongPhantom Rhythm Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:

Guitar-and-bass duo Gong Gong Gong charges outfrom Beijing’s underground scene with a distinct vi-sion and uncompromising sense of purpose. The groupunites musical cultures, drawing on inspirations aswide-ranging as Bo Diddley, Cantonese opera, WestAfrican desert blues, drone, and electronic music.On their debut LP,Phantom Rhythm, the locomotive chugof Tom Ng’s guitar combines with Joshua Frank’s thump-ing, harmonics-laden bass lines to conjure an aura ofghostly snare hits and timpani overtones. Over Frank’senigmatic melodies, Ng sings in Cantonese, piecing to-gether abstract tales of absurdity, doubt, desire, and lust.Synchronized to the point of near-telepathy, the band usetheir minimalistic tools and idiosyncratic playing style tochallenge the notions of rock ‘n’ roll and strip the formdown to its bare essentials: rhythm, melody, and grit.
