Dustin Wong

LA-based composer/producer/guitarist Dustin Wong returns to Hausu Mountain with Perpetual Morphosis, his second release in the catalog following Fluid World Building 101 With Shaman Bambu. Wong came to prominence nearly two decades ago as a guitarist of beloved psych-indie rock band Ponytail. He then progressed through a deep catalog of releases under his own name that includes a trilogy of solo LPs on Chicago label Thrill Jockey, who also issued three albums from his duo with Takako Minekawa (a luminary of Japanese pop and experimental music since the mid-90s). Like Fluid World Building before it, Perpetual Morphosis presents a hybridized vision in which Wong’s previously long-held practice focused on live-looped guitar sessions is simply one element in his all-encompassing electronic productions. The album finds him further developing his affinities for digital instrumentation and complex sound design, all while positioning himself as the guitarist and vocalist at the heart of his multi-layered performances.
