Pop Pop Yeh

Various Artists, “Pop Pop Yeh” (Sublime Frequencies, 2012; original recordings 1964-70)
Another entry in SF’s continuing and crucial documentation of ‘60s Southeast Asian pop, this volume focuses on work from Malaysia and Singapore. This is great stuff, like Chinese/Arabic surf music with quicksilver guitars and mesmerizing female vocals distantly reminiscent of French yé yé pop.
