Gong Gong Gong III - Mongkok Duel LP
NEW. SEALED.
Wharf Cat Records
Available on vinyl for the first time in North America, Latin America, Europe & Japan!
Beijing's Gong Gong Gong and Taipei's Mong Tong are like-minded duos known for cinematic and raw sounds, merging transglobal melodies with undeniable grooves. On Mongkok Duel, the bands join forces to create an imagined soundtrack for a lost kung-fu film. These are the sonic accompaniments, no doubt, to a supernatural tale of honour, intrigue, and (of course) revenge. Progressing from Gong Gong Gong's long-standing Rhythm n' Drone collaborative series, Mongkok Duel showcases the distinctive aesthetics of both groups, building a shared language of cyclical motorik rhythms, evolving drones, textural sound effects, snarling guitar and growling bass hooks. Written and recorded live at the legendary President Piano Co. Rehearsal rooms in Mongkok, Hong Kong, the bands played the studios' own instruments and amplifiers, which date back to President Piano Co.'s foundation in 1978. The studio's recording setup is a unique system designed and set up by owner Mr. Lee King Yat, giving the album it's distinct vintage sound while maintaining impressive clarity.
