Sukatani - Gelap Gempita (2023) [Hi-Res]

A sparkling electronic punk album from this Central Java, Indonesia-based duo. Dressed in balaclavas and railing against consumerism and financial exploitation committed by the police, Sukatani make dance music political. From the psychedelic opener to the moodier “Realitas Konsumerisme,” this synth-dominant record features track after track of new wave-influenced post-punk. Lead vocalist Ovi is a gothic powerhouse in the vein of Siouxsie Sioux; their vocals soar, particularly on the alluring “Tanam Kemandirian,” a track that requires repeat listening.
