Mahjongg: Kontpab – COMPACT DISCS

Missouri’s Mahjongg creatively forge the primal forces they’ve derived from other cultures to curtail our self-destructive tendencies and spawn a soundtrack for a new community. In describing their brilliant, controlled bombast, 1980’s Talking Heads are the easiest reference point, as tribal polyrhythm backs dense instrumental montages that occasionally include jittery, treble-happy, David Byrne guitar work. But to cast Mahjongg off as another American band heavily influenced by 1977-1982 would serve as a great injustice” – Stylus Magazine.”
