Mong Tong『Sun Moon Darkness 明日音』CD
The 2025 masterpiece killer album from Mong Tong, the psychedelic experimental unit and outlier of the Taipei underground scene. A unique musical world and otherworldly psychedelia that blends 80s–90s electronic music, game music, and vintage psychedelia against a backdrop of Taiwanese traditional music.
A musical unit formed by real-life brothers Hongyou and Junqi, who are also members of the band Prairie WWWW, formed in 2017! They released their 1st album, 『Mystery 秘神』(2020), from the label 〈Guruguru Brain〉, run by geometric-patterned Go Kurosawa and Tomo Katsurada. Their performances, clad in monochrome outfits, are eccentric and mysterious, signaling a connection between the Chinese-speaking world and global music. Their unique worldview garnered a major response, and during their geometric-patterned final tour, they served as the opening act for the EU/UK shows and at Ebisu Garden Hall. Their 2nd album, 『Tao Fire(道火)』(2023), was released as a work also paying tribute to Oscar Young (Yang Daohuo), a mystical pioneer of electronic music. This 2025 release is a journey-like album that evokes the mysteries of Asia and psychedelic fantasies, “Oriental Psychedelia.” The Japanese edition is dropped on CD & LP.
