Los Angeles based band formed in the early 2000s, Dengue Fever fuses Khmer-Rock with modern Indie Rock. With a unique sound that blends Cambodian pop music from the 1960s and 70s with contemporary Western influences, *Dengue Fever* has created a captivating musical experience that transports listeners to another time and place.

Inspired by legendary Cambodian artists such as *Yol Aularong*, *Sinn Sisamouth*, and *Pan Ron*, Dengue Fever pays homage to their rich musical heritage while adding their own modern twist. Their eclectic style has drawn comparisons to diverse acts like *The Cambodian Space Project*, *Holly Golightly*, and even African bands like *Tinariwen* and *Bombino*. 

Known for their energetic live performances, Dengue Fever has gained a dedicated following around the world. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of genres including Ethiopian jazz (*Mulatu Astatke*), experimental rock (*CAN*), and even Thai funk (*The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band*), they continue to push boundaries and defy categorization.

Ting Mong is the sixth full-length album of new material from Cambodian / American band Dengue Fever, and their first album in more than eight years. In Khmer folklore, a Ting Mong is a decoy or mannequin, similar to a scarecrow, used to fight away evil spirits and plagues. Available on vinyl and CD, the new album artwork is from Japanese artist Imiri Sakabashira and features nine new tracks, many clocking in at more than four minutes. The band recorded the album after a hiatus followed by a global pandemic, which allowed them to fesh out tracks which presented themselves as slower, more lengthy, psychedelic jams.
