March 5, 2016 - Sinn Sisamouth - Don't Let My Girlfriend Tickle Me (late 60s?)


Any fan of great garage rock and lo-fi fuzz guitar owes it to themselves to seek out the amazing Cambodian rock and pop music that was created before the Khmer Rouge took over and decimated the whole country.

Sinn Sisamouth is the best-known singer associated with this music, but there are many others. Dig that crazy fuzz wah guitar solo! The organ is cool too, I love that one chord, there's an example right around 1:00. Sinn's voice is treated with some nice reverb. It seems like reverb vocals were pretty common in Cambodian rock songs.
