Triple Local Heroes

WHAT IS UP PEOPLE
Beneran nanya. Akhir-akhir ini satu-satunya yang gue kenal lebih baik adalah langit-langit kamar gue. Tiap hari cuma tidur, solat, mandi, buka puasa, refresh timeline, refresh path, ngalor-ngidul di youtube, discovering bandcamp, BIRP, liat langit-langit, tua di jalan gara-gara macet parah tiap memenuhi undangan bukber, dan mengosongi dompet dengan acara bukber yang lama-lama harusnya namanya diganti "raping your own wallet in ramadhan bersama". Welcome to my miserable jomblo  life. Dan setai apapun rutinitas not-so-called liburan panjang ini, gue lebih baik tetap menatap langit-langit kamar sambil dengerin playlist menye-menye dan berharap waktu melambat daripada hidup gue di fastforward ke...The Day. It's H-16 to completely living on my own peeps wuddup!

"Nggak posting tentang ketakutan H-16 tisy?" Ada waktunya kawan, ada waktunya. Jadi kalo males banget liat curhatan rutin gue tentang kehidupan, sebaiknya jangan buka blog gue dalam satu minggu ke depan.

Anyway, iseng mau berbagi kuping bersama kalian dengan tema kali ini: Local Heroes. Seenggaknya agenda menatap langit-langit kamar Anda ada soundtracknya ;)

Mind Deer - Come Out of Nowhere
soundcloud
Jadi album ini udah direcord dari taun 2011-2012, dan gue baru pertama kali denger taun ini setelah ngeliat reviewnya di Nylon edisi entah bulan apa. First impression dari soundcloud lewat lagu Your Heart Isn't Mine But I'm Fine: Epic. Vocalnya yang diisi cewek sedikit ngingetin gue sama Mocca dan Homogenic, tapi genrenya beda banget sama dua-duanya, dan lagu-lagunya nggak lo-fi kayak Homogenic (lah). Come Out of Nowhere berisi 6 lagu nuansa indie-pop yang bakal nyangkut terus di otak. My current fave track is Berisik Musik, karena...there's Berisik and there's Musik (?) It's just the kind of song that will stuck in your mind for days; "Aku berisik / Kamu terusik / Aku berisik / musik"

A.F.F.E.N. - The Sun Of Pandora
soundcloud
Bukannya naro tokoh-tokoh Avatar naik toruk makto sebagai cover art (re:Pandora), cover art yang mereka pilih adalah gambar landscape gunung dengan efek yang terkesan sangat indie dan post-rosk-ish. Ditambah lagi CD artnya gokil banget, tulisannya glossy dengan latar landscape gunung, bagus lah pokoknya. Dan begitulah saudara-saudara, sesuai dengan titel mereka sebagai "experimental band from Indonesia", dengan wishpery vocal dan nuansa musik ekperimental di ke-7 tracknya, kita serasa dibawa ke areal hutan atau pegunungan Indonesia sambil pake trapper hat dan bikin video clip lari-lari di tengah pu-un. Rindu sama TTATW atau emang senang menggandruingi scene experimental/post-rock dengan bumbu yang lebih ke rock daripada ke post tapi tetep dreamy? AFFEN jawabannya. Ah gue memang payah dalam mendeskripsikan musik, lupakan genre karena yang gue tau pasti tentang album ini satu; eargasm. Ratingnya 4.1/5 karena kesempurnaan dalam musik ekperimental hanya milik Sigur Ros. Tapi gue harap album ini bisa lebih panjang lagi (atau ini EP?). Segera ke musikplus dan beli albumnya! Jangan lupa kunjungi soundcloudnya untuk berbagai cover mereka. Enjoy ;)

Glovvess - Fictional Stranger
Buka glovvess.bandcamp.com kemudian play track utama yang mereka suguhkan; Lead The Way. Familier dengan vokalnya? Yep, that's Herald from L'alphalpha. I know, I know, Glovvess dan L'alphalpha adalah dua musik yang sangat berbeda, tapi itulah side project, karena kalo sama aja namanya bukan side project dong. Download aja EP mereka secara gratis di bandcamp (lengkap dengan cover art + pdf booklet!), it's a groovy and fun EP to entertain your day.

Album Reviews [Combo Pack]

I'm back on the deck, hurrah! I'm so missing myself writing a proper readable post, the less-curhat less-sok-poetic post, even 'tho I'm not sure people are even into my music shits...but it feels good to be back on the deck!(?) These are my reviews of not-so-new-released albums that I listen to (not so) recently, ujian and college stuffs really took that much of my time-_- I wish I can come out with fresh recommendations but this is just all I have, here it goes, enjoy! The Temper Trap -  Acoustic Sessions EP Sepertinya The Temper Trap berhasil menemukan formula untuk menelurkan album yang flawless dan sangat pas: make it an EP (nggak sesimpel single dan nggak sepanjang LP) consists of six acoustic version of their best songs, here's when things couldn't go wrong. Sewaktu jaman intensif Inten, kerjaan gue kalo di rumah emang suka curi-curi waktu buat hal nggak penting yang bahkan di waktu luang aja nggak pernah gue lakuin, kayak randomly buka iTunes dan me...

Baby Blue - King Krule (Day 1 - Song with color on the title)

Meskipun album 6 Feet Beneath The Moon udah di- release dari tahun 2013, di hidup gue Baby Blue malah jadi soundtrack jaman-jaman ngerjain TA, lebih tepatnya setelah geng wisuda April udah pada cabut.   Bulan-bulan Maret-Juni 2018 adalah masa transisi gue mencari teman buat ngerjain TA bareng karena teman-teman yang biasa coffee shop hopping buat ngerjain TA bareng lulusnya April semua hiks. Di masa-masa itu lah diperkenalkan Patih sama the luxury of berproduktif di Grind Joe ( coffee shop di bawah hotel Moxy): sepi, kursi ergonomis, pencahayaan oke banget, kopi enak, adem (kadang terlalu dingin), internet decent , dan yang terpenting playlist -nya bagus! Playlist bagus yang dimaksud adalah lagu-lagu chill lo-fi hiphop yang sangatlah hyped pada masa tersebut; Mac Ayres, FKG, Honne, Tom Misch dkk - surprisingly emang cocok banget buat backsound produktif. Kemudian karena playlist di Grind Joe lama-lama terasa terlalu berulang, gue berinisiatif membuat extended playlist -nya...

There Was No Funeral

June 25th 2024 They took the greatest love of my life away from me, but there was no funeral. They bathed and cleaned her corpse, and all I could think about was if they had took her lash extensions out. They buried her, but I stayed in the car. People cried, but no one hugged me, all that I had was my hand being held by my brother as we drove behind the hearse, Neil Young’s Harvest Moon was playing. I was already isolated for 2 weeks and thought that I would be rewarded by her embrace once it was all over. But there was none of it, it was pain and more pain and more pain. Only after 2 years I could finally cried it all out in somebody’s embrace, didn’t even realized how much I needed to let it all out —how badly I needed to be embraced. Because by the first year, the longing had eaten my insides little by little until there was almost nothing left of me. I don’t want to hold on to this pain forever, even if this pain is the only way I can keep my love for her alive. Because I’m done h...

I never concidered about dying this much until today. And no, this is not a suicidal note. Well not exactly... I don't know but the pain of living is just so unbearable. I wanna go back to the non-existance. I give people pain so much I let my parents down too much now. This is the point where I don't even know if my precense would do anyone any good, and I don't even know which is better to the world: the pain from me leaving or the  trouble I made.

You called me just so you can take out your anger out of your chest. And it still hurts, the fact that I couldn’t ease your anger, I could never did. With all the hatred and resentment in your eyes, it finally hits me, really really hard, realizing that nobody could ever comfort you -not even me, not even once. It hurts much more.

This, wasn't It

"Kalo gitu nggak ada lagi yang perlu dibicarain." Bengong. Asli. Kalo kata-kata bisa membunuh, mungin sekarang gue udah tinggal nama. Oke lebay... Mungkin paling banter sekarang gue cuma butuh transfursi darah. Oke tetep lebay. Intinya, kalimat yang terlontar dingin itu sukses bikin gue lemes, kuping panas, jantung minta lompat keluar, dan otak meronta. Gue bukan abis berantem sama cowok gue since I don't have one wakaka, atau berantem sama bokap nyokap. Yang abis gue lakuin adalah wawancara, seperti yang gue bilang di postingan sebelumnya. Hari ini di mulai dengan baik. Sarapan oatmeal pake pisang, wearing my fave shirt, fave watch, fave bracelet, dan Speed of Sound muncul di radio pagi ini. Gue nunggu giliran selama dua jam lebih dengan kalem dan sedikit nervous. Tapi pas klimaks...wawancara selesai gitu aja setelah si pewawancara denger gue tanggal 25-28 liburan.... Gue tau gue cengeng, satu sekolah juga tau. Tapi udah lama gue nggak ngerasain sekecewa ini dan s...
