The debut album from this band from Indonesia.
The band is a sextet with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, sitar, guitars, organ, piano, keyboards and vocals.
This band has released two singles, through Bandcamp, before they released this album. This too is a Bandcamp album although I guess it is also available on CD and cassette.
The cover art work says mostly everything about this music.
Psychedelic pop and psychedelic rock. Add some 1960s beat, space rock, krautrock and some Asian pop and you get this album.
The Indian/Asian inspired The Beatles songs, those with sitar, are a good reference in most cases here. The music is a lot more floating and less song structured. Hence the space rock influences.
The music sounds fresh, vital and as lively as a horse in full trot. The half accoustic guitars is adding a lot to the male and female vocals. The sitars are really cool and just underlines what a great instrument sitar really is.
These forty minutes is very good and this album is a revelation. One of the revelations of the year.
I hope we will hear a lot more from this band in the future.
