Only a decade ago Leong Lau remained a well-hidden Malaysian-Australian treasure, known only to small circles of Australian record collectors. In 2013 Left Ear Records met Leong in person at the Brisbane state library, where after a long and somewhat transcendental conversation received his blessings to re-release his music. In 2014,Left Ear reissued his sophomore album That Rongeng Sound and later in 2021, his sole single “Late Night Flyer”. In 2024, they are back to finish the triangle of Leong releases, with a repress of his first album Dragon Man. A raw and electrifying album that continues to stand the test of time.
Dragon Man might best be described musically as psyc/rock, however the significant use of soul/funk and jazz melodies adds a unique musical depth that makes it hard to categorise. However, what truly sets Leong apart is his distinct vocal style, delivering half sung/half spoken lyrics in a stereotypical Aussie accent that comes across more like a sermon than what might be conceived as traditional songs. Moreover, in a time where the Australian music industry and its performers musical styles were dictated by major labels, Leong began to break down those barriers by self-releasinghis music. This rewarded Leong creative control, where he was able to dictate the musical and cultural themes, with songs like Dragon Man and Deep In The Jungle that both pay homage to his unique Chinese/Malay heritage. That said, Dragon Man is both a significant musical and cultural statement thats just as poignant today as it was then. via Label
