Tao Fire 道火, by Mong Tong

13 track album

Mong Tong's latest album, "Tao Fire 道火", not only continues the idea behind their previous work, "Indies 印", but also incorporates more local elements such as gamelan music, phin guitar, tabla drums, and Taiwan sisomi. While sampling more sounds from the street of Southeast Asia, including weddings, funerals, and traditional celebrations, Mong Tong again explores different folk sounds around Austronesia. Different to their last Guruguru Brain release "Mystery 秘神", "Tao Fire 道火" will take us to a land that is both familiar and fresh. Feel the hot, the crowd, humidity, and ecstasy. This time, welcome to Mong Tong's subtropical world.creditsreleases June 30, 2023 All songs arranged by Mong Tong Produced and mixed by Mong Tong Mastered by Soushi Mizuno @ Studio Mass, Tokyolicense

I’m a huge fan! I don’t know if you respond to fan mail, but I have two questions:

First, does the new single mean a new album is coming?

Second, your Taiwan Mystery music video got me interested in Hong Kong and Taiwanese horror movies from the 70s like those by the Shaw Brothers studio.Do you have any recommendations or favorites of the genre?

Hi there:

We’ve released “Music from Taiwan Mystery II” and will put both I & II on one vinyl release! Stay tuned!

 And we also make two private YouTube list for you. Taiwan Mystery music video is made and edit based on those movies!

Mystery 秘神, by Mong Tong 夢東

8 track album

Recorded in their home studio in Taipei, “Mystery 秘神” is a psychedelic journey into Taiwanese folklore combined with the 80’s media obsession with the supernatural. It’s a record that manages to combine nostalgia and tradition with humour and an underlying intrinsic earthiness to create something unlike anything else out there. Brothers Hom Yu and Jiun Chi also play in ​Prairie WWWW​ (落差草原 WWWW) and Dope Purple. They both returned to Taipei in 2017 after finishing their studies and before long began to explore their mutual obsession for Taiwanese occult-inspired art and vintage superstitious imagery, channelling it through music. Mong Tong means many things in Chinese, but the translation they choose to fit their music is “the east-side of dreams”. Growing up in Taiwan in the 90’s, the brothers listen to ​電子琴音樂 which they describe as “relaxing Chinese synth pop” along with video game soundtracks, psychedelic music, doom metal and sound collage/library music. On “Mystery秘神” these inspirations combine with the dark humour of Taiwanese folklore and a love of conspiracy theories to form what they describe as “a psychedelic journey to the east.”creditsreleased June 19, 2020 All songs arranged by Mong Tong Mixed by Mong Tong Mastered by Soushi Mizuno @ Studio Mass, Tokyo Produced by Mong Tong Big thanks to Li-yang from Scattered Purgatory
