PannionSeer At points, this reminds me of the bands that defined early chillwave, like Ducktails, Memory Tapes, or Predator Vision; the guitars are similarly reverb-y and chorus-drenched, chords splashing out lazily and slow, swaggers subverted into saunters. However, the Eastern melodic flavor gives this more of an overtly mystical aesthetic, and the instrumentation and compositional elements are far more exotic and interesting. Highly recommended. Favorite track: A3 - 天庭 Tiān Tíng.

Margaret Munchheimer This is one of the most strangely compelling things I have heard in a long time. After two years, I still put it on and it seems not to lose any of its magic.
If only I’d managed to get ahold of one of the books! Favorite track: A2 - 地府 Dì Fǔ.

“Each book is a luxuriant assemblage of photos capturing mystical esoterica from across Taiwan: temples, purgatory facilities, Buddhist mummies, unusual buildings, phallic worship shrines. As audio accompaniment, Music from Taiwan Mystery augments the hand-assembled feel with a blend of slow-paced electronic psychedelia mashed gracefully with samples from vintage video games and film.”

"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."

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”.
