Her band members built the hypnotic groove around her voice.\\xa0\\u201cWe gave ourselves parameters recording Ting Mong, but we smashed the rules we created for ourselves on past albums,\\u201d bassist Senon Williams told Flood Magazine. \\u201cThe songs\\u2019 sole purpose was to let Chhom\\u2019s voice soar.
