Gong Gong Gong (工工工) is the duo of Hong Kong-native guitarist and vocalist Tom Ng and Montreal-born bassist Joshua Frank. Formed in 2015 in Beijing's underground music scene, the band taps into a wavelength uniting musical cultures, drawing on inspirations ranging from Bo Diddley to Cantonese opera, West African desert blues, drone, and techno. The group use their minimalistic tools and idiosyncratic playing style to strip rock n' roll down to its bare essentials: rhythm, melody, and grit. Between the locomotive chug and banjo twang of Ng's guitar and Frank's thumping bass harmonics, an aura of ghostly snare hits and timpani overtones emerges: the “phantom rhythm” for which the band's critically acclaimed debut is named. Ng proudly sings in Cantonese, his lyrics merging experimental storytelling and abstract poetry. The duo's debut LP, Phantom Rhythm 幽靈節奏, was named one of 2019's best by Loud And Quiet (UK) and Aquarium Drunkard (USA), as well as one of The Wire magazine's top 10 avant rock albums of the year. They have been profiled by Bandcamp Daily and Exclaim!, and featured in Pitchfork, Stereogum, Fader, the New Yorker, NPR, and Interview Magazine.
