・Versi Bahasa Indonesia silakan klik di siniAfter over a year established and already at cult-like status, Morfem have finally released their debut album, Indonesia. It contains seven songs, five of which are in full band format, the rest in acoustic. "Pilih Sidang atau Berdamai" has been picked as the first single.
In this self-produced album, Jimi Multhazam (vocals, band leader), Pandu Fathoni (guitar), Bramasta J. Sasongko (bass), & Freddie Warnerin (drums), also supply two songs with English lyrics, both written before Jimi even founded Morfem, when his songwriting was different from today.
Speaking of genre, they're still loyal to what they've always been doing: a mix-match between punk rock, pop with a folky tendency, with a dash of Pandu Fathoni's fuzzy, roaring guitar.
To raise public awareness, very soon Jimi (supported by Henry, his long time visual art partner) will work on the videoclip of "Pilih Sidang atau Berdamai". So, stick around and stay updated by regularly visiting the Morfem website at http://morfem.tumblr.com.
DOMESTIC GROOVE ~ Celeb's Chosen Seven is my biweekly column in The Beat (Jakarta) mag. Basically it's an interview via e-mail which focuses on small, intimate, domestic stuff; what Indonesia's public figures are really into, musically speaking.
For the tenth edition I went upclose-and-personal with Marcell Siahaan.
