Venus On Earth

Dengue Fever

The eagerly-awaited album from the Los Angeles indie-rockers who have made it their mission to revive psychedelic, Khmer rock and roll of the 1960's. Fronted by a super-charismatic Cambodian siren, it's a sonic stew of kitsch surf-rock, spaghetti-Western cool, klezmer, ska, Cambodian pop and even Ethiopian jazz.

When the Times newspaper asked 'Who will be the music stars of 2008' one of only a few serious
contenders chosen were DENGUE FEVER: 'If there is any justice in pop music, we'll all catch Dengue Fever
before the year is out. ' MOJO gave the album a 4-star review concluding 'Powerpop from the land where 1-2-3-4 is pronounced "muoy- pee-bye-boen"...the world's premier Cambodian psychedelic rock band'.

American press has been outstanding LOS ANGELES TIMES ('Sexy and eclectic, it's world music for the cool kids'); SPIN ('Venus On Earth feels impulsive and rich, rippling with surf psychedelia and exultant brass swing' (4 stars); and PASTE ('The maturing, polyglot sound of America's urban future' (3 Stars).
