Brothers Hom Yu and Jiun Chi returned to Taipei in 2017 after finishing their studies. Since then they began to explore their mutual obsession for Taiwanese occult-inspired art and vintage superstitious imagery, channeling it through music. Mong Tong means many things in Chinese, but the translation they choose to fit their music is the east-side of dreams. On Mystery these inspirations combine with the dark humour of Taiwanese folklore and a love of conspiracy theories to form what they describe as a psychedelic journey to the east. Recorded in their home studio in Taipei, Mystery is a psychedelic journey into Taiwanese folklore combined with the 80's media obsession with the supernatural. It's a record that manages to combine nostalgia and tradition with humour and an underlying intrinsic earthiness to create something unlike anything else out there. Intro, Mystery ??, Chakra, Jou-Tau, 717, Ancient Mars, A Nambra, In the K. Court
