Kaveh Kanes - Loanwords (CD)

Release Date: 10/12/18

Second album of easy-going shimmery Indonesian pop that jangles with the best of 'em / RIYL: Beach Fossils, EZTV

Eleven months ago, we brought you the reissue of this Indonesian band's debut album, and now (as promised) we're happy to present to you their second full-length! As you might expect, their sound has grown considerably in the couple years since their debut was recorded - ie. the production sounds much better and clearer this time around - but their general style has not changed too much. They still play easy and refreshing jangly guitarpop in the style of Beach Fossils, EZTV or a male-led Seapony, and boy, do they ever play it WELL. These nine songs shimmer and sparkle along with the best of 'em, and are a pure aural treat, as well, proving that geography is not what makes a band, but plain old stellar songwriting...
