Named for a remarkably unpleasant tropical disease, Dengue Fever is a seething Petri dish of mutating influences. The band was spawned when the American founders became fascinated by an unlikely combination of Cambodian music and Buda Musique's multi-volume Ethiopiques series, which documents that country¹s sixties pop heyday. Meanwhile, their future lead singer, famed Cambodian chanteuse Ch'hom Nimol, had grown up with East Asian/American hybrids which had erupted when local musicians internalized and transformed sounds they heard on Vietnam-war-era American Armed Forces Radio. Churning, vertiginous rhythms and honking sax lines betray the Ethiopian sources while stratospherically ornamented yet demure Cameroonian folkways inform the lead vocals (sung in English and Khmer) and Zac Holtzman¹s dan bau (a Vietnamese mono-string instrument). But the mix further incorporates campy organ riffs straight out of Question Mark and the Mysterians, the Shangri-Las' stiletto-edged girl-group theatrics and Ennio Morricone¹s surreal Spaghetti Western guitars. The group's stage persona is equally eclectic, ranging from a sweet-faced "Oriental" B-movie heroine, to a guy whose beard would scare the heck out of ZZ Top, to a latter-day Super-Fly clone. A testament to following your own star no matter what, Escape from Dragon House is at once blindingly authentic in the cosmic sense and delightfully deranged. --Christina Roden

Album Description

On "Escape From Dragon House" the sound is denser, thicker and richer than on their 2003 self titled debut. Escape From Dragon House is darker musically and lyrically with a fully relized style melting all of their incluences into one realized voice that's pure Dengue Fever.

AAAAH it's SOOO good.......2007-03-03

crazy hypnotic world-ish music that sounds like Asian Dave Matthews Band. listen and let your mind get blown.

A very good album...again........2006-08-29

This second album of Dengue Fever is as almost good as the first. I think some of the songs at the end ain't too good. But the tunes 1-7 is perfect, maybe?

All over, it's a good album, fun to listen.

Awesome.......2006-08-17

This is so cool to hear this eccletic fusion of classic Khmer singing with all types of western instruments! I love it!

Give us Dengue Fever or kill all the Karoakee stars.......2005-12-24

I never thought that this is possible-the Americans playing my favorite oldies. I'd love to see the band hook up with Sothy (Boxing Music) because his lyrics are out of this world. I'm waiting for the next chapter. I'm freaking out of my mind knowing my brothers and sisters in Kampuchea are appreciating the difference. I'm so damn proud to have good tastes in good music like all my brothers and sisters. Damn pol pot would have like to put today's Karoakee stars to good use. Chhom Nimol is damn fine and hotter than a Phnom Penh's morning in April. She is sizzling HOT!!

Escape From Dragon House.......2005-11-30

This is the most breath taking cd ever.
I loved every second of it the first time I heard it, and I kept on loving it even after the cd was done spinning.
Very high reccomendation.

Album Description

2003 debut on the Mimicry label is multicultural pop featuring the vocals of Cambodian emigre Chhom Nimol (all the vocals are sung in Khmer). Retro surf guitar, the throwback psychedelic tone of the Farfisa organ, rhythms on songs like 'Pow Pow' that conjure visions of James Bond dancing the Swim in a Hong Kong nightclub, as well as the absence of any post-punk or disco residue, create a sense of time displacement. This music could just as easily have been heard decades ago, long before American demographics had absorbed Asian pop influences. 12 tracks.

not as good as the 2nd album but still fabulous.......2007-03-03

heh i just got back from 10 days in cambodia...didn't get a chance to hit up any of the local music scenes but hearing this, i wish i had. anyway, this really is the yin to the second album's yang...mostly because once you're finished listening to "escape" you simply must have more of this intoxicating stuff.

Dengue Fever Music CD.......2006-11-10

Dengue Fever should never have try to play Cambodian Rock. Their songs selection is really bad and they sound aweful!

I love this band........2006-08-26

This is an album packed with good music. The singers voice is lovely (and her body ... she's hot!), the band is proffesional and the sound is a perfect mix.

It's easy to like, even I can't understand a word she's singing. I will look forward to get more from this band!

You should buy this CD, and listen to it a lot.

dengue way to go.......2005-12-21

I grew up with a family that listens to cambodian songs...although i am cambodia, i grew up here not speakin much of it, so i don't listen cambodian songs at all, because i don't really understand it. But when i heard about dengue fever..i was intrigue..i thought it was so cute seeing american people singing background vocals and playing the instrument for a cambodian lady. I 've heard most of the original songs that dengue fever resang, but with the recreate of vocals by adding in the band..i think this is great band, idea and CD...i think this band accentuate the life of what cambodian people are really about through their music with their unique combination of styles...we are fun and we love life..

great hardhitting gumbo funk y'all.......2005-12-02

Album Description

"If you can imagine a band where a Cambodian beauty queen shares the stage with Rasputin, Barry White, Allen Ginsberg, Michael Hutchence, and Brian Wilson, you'd have a pretty good idea of the group Dengue Fever." -- L.A. TIMES

"Her voice is swathed in reverb, becoming instantly mythic." -- THE WIRE

"The culture clash inherent to this band gives its debut a dynamic flair." -- TIME OUT NEW YORK

"Dengue Fever is at the vanguard of an emerging global pop sensibility, making familiar yet eerily unique music." -- KEXP

Fronted by Cambodian pop star Ch'hom Nimol, who sings in Khmer, Los Angeles sextet Dengue Fever blends the rhythms of sixties Cambodian pop--heavily influenced by American surf, rock, and early psychedelic garage bands--with their own eclectic mix of American and international styles. Unlike the world music bands of the late eighties, Dengue Fever is more concerned with a universal groove and breaking down musical barriers than with notions of authenticity. There are echoes of Bollywood soundtracks, Ethiopian soul, American R&B, Cambodian folk, Spaghetti Western weirdness, and girl-group angst in the mix, but the resulting concoction is the band's own.

On Escape from Dragon House, the sound is denser, thicker, and richer than on the group's 2003 self-titled debut. Escape from Dragon House is also darker, both musically and lyrically, with a fully realized style that melts all of the band's influences into one realized voice that is pure Dengue Fever.

Customer Reviews:

Wow, this is awesome!.......2007-05-13

I bought the original version of this CD after stumbling across Dengue Fever on the National Geographic world music website under Cambodia (even though the band is in Southern California -- where else!). What a find! From the moment I popped it into my CD player, I was hooked. I can't exactly claim to be a world music aficionado, but I do like to try different kinds of music from just about everywhere, and every once in a while I get lucky and find a real gem like this one.

I can't understand a word of Khmer, but that was no impediment to my falling in love with Chhom Nimol. Her voice is powerful, clear, and mesmerizing. The music feels kind of like a time warp. It makes me feel good. In trying to describe it, words like mod, cool, groovy, and funky come to mind. There's one track in particular, "One Thousand Tears of a Tarantula," that makes me feel like I'm dissolving or something; I don't know how else to describe it. How do they do that??? At first my wife thought I was going a little crazy listening to that -- but I think I've got her liking it now too. There are a whole lot of other great tracks here too. Give it a try -- you won't regret it! By the way, I also have their self-titled debut album and it has the same addictive effect on me.

Just the other day I bought this recently released enhanced version of this CD, partly because I was afraid of wearing the first one out. The bonus track is kind of fun, and the video is fantastic! The whole band looks really cool. It's psychadelic! -- I hope I can use that word here without giving the wrong connotation. And in case I haven't said it already, Chhom Nimol is beautiful.
