Here comes tristan, an alternative folk duo who are currently much-loved by many young adult Jakartans. Two high-school friends are the main members, Andrie Ridwan (singer, songwriter) and Andrew Hutasoit (multi-instrumentalist, composer), and they have just released their full-length debut album, HOME.
Consisting of 11 songs, only one is written in Indonesian, the rest are in English. However, the Indonesian one, “Jelang Malam”, was instantly appreciated by the Indonesian public and has reached top position on one of Jakarta radio’s indie charts.
Released under the flag of demajors records, all of the album materials were intimately recorded at home, using what the band calls their “home-recording” technique. Presenting “Songbird” as their first single, tristan music style is, according to them, heavily infected by The Beatles, Radiohead, Nick Drake, Jon Brion and Brooke Fraser.
