Yeah, yeah! You can definitely tell that Mong Tong are honing in on the sound they would eventually produce for Tao Fire. Although significantly more downtempo than that album, Mystery has its high points. 🔮🔥 CyanStrawberry
幻滅情歌 Love Songs in Disillusion est une de ces perles cachées dont WV Sorcerer a le secret. Seule œuvre (en tout cas d'après mes recherches) de 王子健 Wang Zijian, cet album est, comme le décrit si bien le label, un mélange inclassable hors du temps au carrefour entre freak folk et trip-hop. Le spoken word poétique utilisé par l'artiste fait passer un sentiment de nostalgie indescriptible — et ce alors même qu'il chante dans sa langue natale — qui me rappelle celui dans Anastasis de Dead Can Dance.

At points, this reminds me of the bands that defined early chillwave, like Ducktails, Memory Tapes, or Predator Vision; the guitars are similarly reverb-y and chorus-drenched, chords splashing out lazily and slow, swaggers subverted into saunters. However, the Eastern melodic flavor gives this more of an overtly mystical aesthetic, and the instrumentation and compositional elements are far more exotic and interesting. Highly recommended.
