Dengue Fever

As they celebrate the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut, Dengue Fever emerge with their most cohesive and immersive album to date. Ting Mong finds the genre-defying group seeking the sonic balm these times so desperately need — in Cambodian culture, a Ting Mong is an effigy of protection, a scarecrow-like figure usually placed at the entrance of a village or a home to ward off diseases and evil spirits. We’re all in desperate need of a Ting Mong, so the band created a half hour of mellow, soothing music.
