▼WV071: Mong Tong 夢東 - 日月史/光之軍 A History of Brightness/Corps of Light

After Mong Tong's first European tour with Kikagaku Moyo 幾何学模様, now we have a new record here, to let you walk deeper into Mong Tong's universe.

Previously released by Mong Tong's own label Ancient Move Records 古招唱片 on hand-made CD and tape, finally these 2 EPs are pressed on vinyl format, with a unique lenticular printing cover to keep both original artworks, and a separate labyrinth insert.

Check the effect here: youtube.com/shorts/KDJcW0DJtiM



In Chinese language "日" means Sun/day, and "月" means Moon/month. Once we combine the two characters into "明", it means brightness. A History of Brightness is the last key that leads to the next Mystery of Mong Tong...

日與月,是時間單位也是天體名稱。
史,是過去的記錄,由日與月堆砌而成。
「日月史」是通往Mong Tong神秘之境的最後一把鑰匙。

"Had I not seen the sun
I could have borne the shade
But Light a newer Wilderness
My Wilderness has made"
- Emily Dickinson

我本可以忍受黑暗如果我不曾見過太陽
然而陽光已使我的荒涼成為更新的荒涼




"We make blurry and raw music. Imagine that if ancient people could play guitar and bass, what would their music be like?"
- It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine interview
www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2020/08/mong-tong-interview.html

"Mong Tong can be seen as representative of larger trends in the bleeding edge of the Taiwanese music scene, then, while also distinctive in their own right. But it could be that Mong Tong’s in-betweenness is precisely what makes them so distinctive."
- Wepresent

Mong Tong is brothers Hom Yu, Jiun Chi (they also play in ​Prairie WWWW​ 落差草原 WWWW & Dope Purple) and 仝. They listened to what they describe as "Dianziqin music 電子琴音樂" along with video game soundtracks, vintage Asian movie samples and psychedelic music. These inspirations combine with Taiwanese folklore and a love of conspiracy theories to form what they describe as "superstitious music". Mong Tong means many things in Chinese, but the translation they choose to fit their music is “the east-side of dreams”.
