Phantom Rhythm 幽靈節奏
Guitar-and-bass duo Gong Gong Gong charge out from Beijing’s underground scene with a distinct vision and sense of purpose.
"The group unites musical cultures, drawing on inspirations as wide-ranging as Bo Diddley, Cantonese opera, West African desert blues, drone and electronic music. On their debut album, ‘Phantom Rhythm’, the locomotive chug of Tom Ng’s guitar combines with Joshua Frank’s thumping, harmonics-laden basslines to conjure an aura of ghostly snare hits and timpani overtones. Over Frank’s enigmatic melodies,
Ng sings in Cantonese, piecing together abstract tales of absurdity, doubt, desire and lust. Synchronized to the point of near-telepathy, the band use their minimalistic tools and idiosyncratic playing style to challenge the notions of rock ‘n’ roll and strip the form down to its bare essentials: rhythm, melody and grit. Formed in 2015, the band’s earliest shows were in Beijing underpass tunnels and DIY spaces - Ng and Frank both being outsiders who call the city their home. Born in Hong Kong, Ng defiantly sings in his native tongue, while Frank, originally from Montreal, has lived in Beijing on and off since childhood."
