From the Mongolian steppe, via Beijing and the rest of China, now totally ready for the big wide world (and the slightly smaller AB.) With their entirely unique, sometimes rather 'metalique', folk-rock.

Hanggai has already been delivering their cheerful crossover since 2004, with a first CD in 2008: 'Introducing Hanggai', about which Pitchfork apparently found: '8.0... distills everything powerful about Mongolian folk music and makes something new from the ingredients… transcendently powerful music that anyone from anywhere can understand.'

Now a septet and with plenty of experience gained at festivals like Roskilde, Lowlands, Sziget, Wacken Open Air (!), Womad, Festival Mundial, Bonnaroo...

There was a second CD in 2010: 'He Who Travels Far', produced by Ken “Posies” Stringfellow and JB Meijers - the team that is apparently now also responsible for the new third CD, out here via Suburban. With extra overtone throat singing, the morin khuur and tobshuur again, of course!

Listen, what do you hear blowing around between all the noise? Release the nomad in yourself. Let yourself go with Hanggai.

Hanggai brings along support-act Low Wormwood: a name like a natural phenomenon for psychedelic, experimental folk-rock from Lanzhou, Gansu, North West China. Latest CD is apparently The Watcher, on the Maybe Mars label, and it sometimes sounds like Crazy Horses In The Sky.
