Dengue Fever - Tiger Phone Card

Dengue Fever is in the vanguard of an emerging global pop sensibility, making music that's both familiar, yet eerily unique. Fronted by Cambodian pop star Ch'hom Nimol, who sings in both Khmer and English, the Los Angeles sextet blends the rhythms of '60's Cambodian pop - heavily influenced by American surf, rock and early psychedelic garage bands - with their own eclectic mix of American and international styles. There are echoes of Bollywood soundtracks, Ethiopian soul, American R&B, Cambodian folk, Spaghetti Western weirdness and girl group angst in the mix, but the resulting concoction is all their own.

B-side is a previously unreleased track, Genjer Genjer - an Indonesian folk song about political struggle, arranged by Dengue Fever.
