Fable: Been Caught Recording

Versi Bahasa Indonesia silakan klik di sini

Fable, the Jakarta old cracks from the 90′s alternative era—and once tagged as the “Jane’s Addiction of Indonesia”—apparently are not dead yet. Just a few weeks ago they released their first full-length eponymous album.

Formed in 1994, the trio, Adi Cumi (vocal), Temy (bass) and Anton Not (guitar) first created quite a big buzz with “Bintang” on Prambors radio (Jakarta) and Ardan (Bandung), and then was included in Sony Music Indonesia’s compilation Indie Ten in 1998. After that they went under the radar. They only released mini albums and a few singles. Due to the busy schedule of each of the member (Adi works as a freelance illustrator, Temy and Anton both work in a radio), it took them more than a decade to finally press their “proper” records.

Consisting of 10 alternative rock-fueled songs, some of them are actually the compositions that they often played during their shows from the early days till today. They also have one of the legends of Jakarta music scene, Robin Noxa (R.I.P.), contributing in one song, “Ta’ Ada yang Gelap”.

Go check out the album and keep yourself updated by following them @fableofficial on Twitter.
