MONG TONG 夢東 - Share new single "Tropic Sub" - Album 'Tao Fire 道火' due June 30th via Guruguru Brain

Taiwanese pysch band Mong Tong 夢東, formed by brothers Hom Yu and Jiun Chi, will release their new album 'Tao Fire 道火' on June 30th via Guruguru Brain. Today they are sharing their new single & video "Tropic Sub".  "Tropic Sub" on YouTube here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjrlOW0Df88 "Tropic Sub" on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/album/0N4u3LmshpPWP35Cfr5pb4?si=RjT4LaRcR3Cwq2K4x09uHw   The name "Mong Tong" is derived from the brothers' childhood nickname, which can mean something totally different in different languages from Burmese, Cantonese to Chinese. Mong Tong's music is heavily influenced by Southeast Asian culture, including its mythology and folklore, as well as 60s and 70s psychedelic music. Their sound is characterized by hypnotic rhythms, dreamy melodies, and otherworldly atmospheres.   Their 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 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.  Mong Tong has been described as part of a new wave of Taiwanese music that draws on the country's rich cultural heritage while pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territory. They have also been noted for their visually striking album artwork, music videos and special outfits. Overall, Mong Tong is a unique and exciting addition to the global psychedelic music scene, offering a fresh perspective and a fascinating blend of musical and cultural influences.
