about

"Down Quantity Road 數量的王國", Gong Gong Gong’s second single on Wharf Cat Records, showcases the duo in a more meditative realm than the galloping roar of their earlier material. The song is a cryptic account of modern existence, where happiness is quantified and inextricably attached to productivity. Tom Ng’s lyrics, delivered in his native Cantonese, compound and overlap, contained by the dark twang of his guitar and floating on the chiming harmonics of Joshua Frank’s bass drone. The song progresses as if a ferry pulling away from shore, resolution left churning in its wake.

Gong Gong Gong ended 2018 on a high note, releasing their first US 7”, Siren and supporting Parquet Courts and Flasher on back-to-back American tours. Their US performances have brought them everywhere from San Francisco’s iconic Fillmore to storied New York performance space The Kitchen. They’ll be embarking on their first European tour in February and March. 

lyrics

數量如惡夢在增加發熱
Quantity's nightmare, feverish rise
數量和數量在相加相接
Quantity on quantity, connect and entwine
不安穩 不斷開 不可知的上限裡面
Unstable, unbroken, under an unknown ceiling.
線條從眼神射進半空裡面
Lines shoot from eyes, straight into air
線條和線條在空中交接
Lines over lines, interlocking in the sky.
消失點交錯於不可靠的透視前
Vanishing points weave into an unreliable plane.
在雨中 被研碎 往河裡沖
In the rain, pummeled to pieces, swept to the stream.
在海中 還繼續 隨水流動
Out in the ocean, at the mercy of the tide.
