Beyond the Verse by Ca Koi Lang Thang

Ethos Collective returned with a show that put sound at the centre. Beyond The Verse celebrated instrumental storytelling, improvisation, and the kind of energy that grows from pure instinct. This album captures a lineup that moved between atmosphere, heaviness, and groove. Some bands are familiar faces in the Vietnamese underground, and others played Ho Chi Minh City for the first time. Lineup: Fuko, math rock fused with stoner rock from Nha Trang Shallow Vessels, brooding and atmospheric post rock 7/4 Surfers, a bass and drum duo with intricate rhythms Bedlam Royals, experimental post metal with shifting intensity Skeleton Goode, wild and colourful psychedelic surf rock
