Sound Waves – Mong Tong
7′
Band Portrait
2023
Sound waves is a new series which dives into the minds of some of our favorite musicians. Mong Tong is a duo from Taiwan, made up of brothers Hom Yu and Jiun Chi, who are known for their psychedelic music music inspired by the occult and traditional superstitions. We caught up with them in London during their European tour last year, where they opened for Japanese psychedelic rock band Kikagaku Moyo. Tune in to learn more about their journey through sound, and how they feel a strong connection to old venues through their music.
