I really like this band... they're from Los Angeles, the singer, Chhom Nimol, is from Cambodia. The following explanation of the song has been copied without permission... sorry Mr Internet :) whoever you are...

'The sinister groove of "One Thousand Tears of a Taratula" matches its subject matter. After the Khmer Rouge took over, pop singer Houy Meas was taken out into the jungle and forced to sing and walk in circles, naked, until she was executed. Nimol's dark, heavily processed vocals evoke the terror the musicians must have felt in their last moments; when Ralicke's sax breaks out of the mix, his solo leaps up like a phoenix. Even though the singer is gone, the song lives on.'

The song is nearly trance-like in parts and the frantic pace does echo the terror Houy Meas must have felt. People can be cruel and mean... and some, like Pol Pot, just down-right devilish. He was one of the most evilest men in history. Glad he's dead but so sorry for the pain he created while living on this earth...

Enjoy the music...



Here's a live version of the same song...



And here is a Houy Meas classic...
