We are excited to announce the upcoming release of our new full-length album, The Fifth Floor. Pre-orders are now available on our Bandcamp page (link in bio), and you can stream the first full song from the album immediately. The full album will drop on 22/2/22.
We worked our butts off creating this album during the constantly shifting background of 2021, recording in the studio in Hanoi over the span of a few months amidst intermittent lockdowns and Covid-cancelled gigs. A talented crew of friends helped record, mix and master this electro space jazz behemoth (thanks @echechstudio , @attiss and Matt Agoglia at The Ranch Mastering), and we are thrilled to finally be releasing it into the world. Check it out!
Keep on space groovin', brothers and sisters. See you in the cosmos.
Bill, Luke and Jackson
One year ago this weekend Mukang Fields performed at Hanoi Rock City's epic 10th Anniversary performance series. We are excited to release a video of this full performance on HRC's 11th birthday. Long live Hanoi Rock City! Long live space jazz groove!

NEW RELEASE! Get ready for some holiday heaviness. Now streaming on Bandcamp!
Mukang Fields channel the cosmos in this space jazz dirge interpretation of the holiday classic.
Inspired by the Dylan Thomas story “A Child’s Christmas in Wales,” - forgoing their usual space groove for yuletide doom - Mukang Fields bring a total sensory experience; dark, intense and gritty with an astral jazz soul - hearkening back to Thomas, Joe Henderson, industrial.
Sonically pushed to the very limits of what the ear can handle, the song resolves with vocals harmonizing with space to create resonance that leaves the listener satisfied.
Ring in the holidays with Good King Wenceslas and his merry band of analog synthesizers and atonal sax!

“Destined to become a holiday classic.”
“Bing Crosby ain’t got nothin’ on these guys.”
“When are you going to put on some real Christmas music?”
“This IS Christmas music.”
