Sealed 2019 Vinyl Compilation. EU import. "Even When You Consider The Cultural Cross-pollination That Goes On In Large Metropolitan Areas, L.a.'s Dengue Fever Had Perhaps The Strangest Genesis Of Any Band In Recent Memory. It's Odd Enough For A Group Of White Musicians To Cover Psychedelic Rock Oldies From Cambodia, But Finding A Bona Fide Cambodian Pop Star To Front The Band -- And Sing In Khmer, No Less -- Is The Kind Of Providence That Could Only Touch A Select Few Places On Earth. Formed In L.a.'s Hipster-friendly Silver Lake Area In 2001, Dengue Fever Traced Their Roots To Organist Ethan Holtzman's 1997 Trip To Cambodia With A Friend. That Friend Contracted The Tropical Disease (Transmitted Via Mosquito) That Later Gave The Band Its Name, And It Also Introduced Holtzman To The Sound Of '60s-Era Cambodian Rock, Which Still Dominated Radios And Jukeboxes Around The Country."
