I appreciate this but don't like it, if that makes any sense.

The music reminds me a little bit of early 007 James bond! ...Anybody else hear it?
EXCELLENT!! The first time I heard this band was on RP, now I like a LOT of their tunes. That is why we come here. Thanx RP!
While I can appreciate the Vietnamese cum Surf Music approach, her voice is a bit grating at times. Still, fine musicianship.

Just as good a name as ANTHRAX for god's sake! Who gives a shit what the disease is?
This is one nasty disease! (click here)
Only known treatment: hit the mute button before
you bleed to death from the ears!
Not Cibo Matto, but close . . .
Can't understand a word she's singing, but this band kick's @ss!
Hey! I like this song. It's fun.

I kinda did too....it is definitely growing on me, it's just a little different to our Western ears, yes, I do like it. Rather pretty.
Pas mal. Loved the backup band. Vocals are a little whiny, but the music is inspired from Cambodian psychedelic rock per allmusic.com, so I guess they are keeping to their roots.
Coming to Prague on June 28th for the Respekt music festival. Yay! 
I really dig her vocals though. Aren't you guys exaggerating just a wee bit ?
Two Dengue Fever songs within hours of each other? RP has hit a new low.

I took a Twentieth Century Music History class at Caltech. The prof studied at Oberlin, which is a top conservatory.
I thought it was going to be jazz, the blues, big band and rock 'n roll. Boy was I in for an education!
"Twentieth Century Music" is the buzzword for what classical composers were doing during the twentieth century, for example Schoenberg with his atonal music, The Rites of Spring, which caused a riot when it debuted in Paris, and so on.
I diligently went to the listening lab and played the records, but it all went way over my head. I had to drop the class.
But responding to your cat comment: a friend of mine described one piece as sounding "like a cat in a garbage can".
Caltech paid all of its faculty really well, and kept class sizes small, so in some respects it's a cushy job for anyone, but being one of the world's top science and engineering schools, it was really hard on its humanities faculty!
An all-white American band fronted by a Cambodian. Who would've thought? Fascinating bio on allmusic.com

The album cover is fascinating.

The timbre of the Khmer vocals aren't appreciated by everyone, but I like the feel of this song.
Looks like I picked a bad time to be under headphones.
Alas the music can't live up to the best named band of the day.
Ok. I know RP is supposed to be broadening our musical horizons. But this sounds like a cat with its tail caught in a door.
Maybe if I knew what she was singing.
I just....wow....this is bad

I really like this tune & Brooklyn Brewery I.P.A.! both are GREAT!
