Dengue Fever - Ting Mong '2023

Tracks list

Dengue Fever's sixth full length studio album. In Khmer folklore, a Ting Mong is
a decoy or mannequin, similar to a scarecrow, used to fight away evil spirits
and plagues.

 Formed in L.A.'s hipster-friendly Silver Lake area in 2001, Dengue Fever traced
their roots to organist Ethan Holtzman's 1997 trip to Cambodia with a friend.
That friend contracted the tropical disease (transmitted via mosquito) that
later gave the band its name, and it also introduced Holtzman to the sound of
'60s-era Cambodian rock, which still dominated radios and jukeboxes around the
country. The standard sound bore a strong resemblance to Nuggets-style garage
rock and psychedelia, heavy on the organ and fuzztone guitar, and with the
danceable beat of classic rock & roll. It also bore the unmistakable stamp of
Bollywood film musicals, and often employed the heavily reverbed guitar lines of
surf and spy-soundtrack music. Yet the eerie Khmer-language vocals and Eastern
melodies easily distinguished it from its overseas counterpart.
