Since 2015, Rắn Cạp Đuôi have been at the forefront of sound art and experimental music in Vietnam. In a constant state of flux, deconstruction and rebirth, they produce soundscapes and compositions flirting with violence and beauty. Made up entirely of self-taught musicians, what the Saigon-based collective lack in virtuosity they make up for with an abundance of open-mindedness and a refreshing willingness to experiment. Following their rapturously received debut album Ngủ Ngày Ngay Ngày Tận Thế, released on the Berlin label Subtext, Rắn Cạp Đuôi released their second album *1 in 2023 on Saigon-based label and collective Nhạc Gãy.
