Phantom Rhythm by Gong Gong Gong Made up of guitar and bass duo Tom Ng(The Offset:Spectacles)and Joshua Frank(Hot&Cold),Gong Gong Gong formed in Beijing in 2015,playing in DIY spaces around the city and building a cult fan base.Phantom Rhythm is the clearest representation and most digestible album that we have gotten from the pair thus far.They lock onto the mystique of blues here,grating the sound down to its bare bones at times,summoning the phantom sound of percussion throughout,with Tom Ng singing in Cantonese on all of the album's 10 tracks,adding to the mystery that the band has built around themselves.Tracks like'Some Kind of Demon'allow a certain space around Ng’s vocals,so that they echo,as if from some desolate stage.This is beautifully done,considering the duo are beloved for their excellent live shows.
