DELUXE EDITION LP IS ON TRANSPARENT BLUE VINYL, COMES WITH AN ENAMEL PIN AND IS GUARANTEED A HAND NUMBER 1-50. SPECIAL EDTION LP IS ON BLACK VINYL AND COMES WITH AN ENAMEL PIN. FIRST 200 LPs ARE HAND NUMBERED, FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. On Gong Gong Gong’s raucous debut, 'Phantom Rhythm 幽靈節奏,' the minimalist Beijing duo created a drummer-less sound that was more than the sum of its parts, inspired by back-porch blues, Sahelian guitar music, New York no-wave, Cantonese lion dance percussion, and seemingly most incongruously, techno. With 'Phantom Rhythm Remixed,' Gong Gong Gong bring to life a concept they’ve planned since the release of their acclaimed first LP, curating their favorite China-connected electronic music producers to remix 'Phantom Rhythm' in its entirety. The globe-spanning collaboration features Yu Su (Vancouver/Kaifeng), Zaliva-D, Simon Frank, Howie Lee (Beijing), Mong Tong, Scattered Purgatory (Taipei), Knopha (Xiamen), Wu Zhuoling (Chengdu), Angel Wei (Copenhagen), and P.E. (Brooklyn). The LP traces a common thread..., organically expanding the palette of Gong Gong Gong into ambient club tracks, thumping dance music, cinematic soundscapes, and bit-crushed psych.

Guitar-and-bass duo Gong Gong Gong (工工工) charges out from Beijing’s underground scene with a distinct vision and uncompromising 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 LP, 'Phantom Rhythm' (幽靈節奏), the locomotive chug of Tom Ng’s guitar combines with Joshua Frank’s thump- ing, harmonics-laden bass lines 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. 'Phantom Rythm' follows the release of Gong Gong Gong’s 'Siren' 7” and the band’s subsequent tour of the UK and Europe with Brooklyn’s Bodega. “Their work is spare and savage, with Ng’s Cantonese singing uncannily evoking a heavily accented British punk.” — The New Yorker. “Transnational blues with swarming psychedelic borders.” — Stereogum. “A totalizing soundscape that brings to mind a pure immersion in a foreign land... An exceedingly rare experience in any genre or medium.” — Interview Magazine.

北京二人乐队GONG GONG GONG 工工工首张新专辑《Phantom Rhythm 幽靈節奏》问世，主打曲目为《Inner Reaches慾望的暗角二》。依然用仅有的吉他和贝斯，工工工继续利用他们独有的幽灵节奏：吴卓厚重的吉他打击和失灵的过载器配合Josh连绵不绝的贝斯嗡鸣，通过乐器交替间幻化出来的拍子和诗句般的粤语歌词，将荒诞、怀疑、欲望和欲望的抽象故事拼凑在一起。之前发行的先导单曲在Stereogum, Consequence of Sound, Loud & Quiet等音乐媒体上大获好评。
