That performance is sick. I can't believe how good Shabara is.
Do any of the previous albums emphasize softer singing? I love moments like at 12:30.
They must be getting zillions of listeners from the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack too. Good year for them.

My label, Burning Ambulance Music, is putting out Senyawa's new album Alkisah in February of next year. (Preorder link)
We're one of 30+ labels putting it out, each handling a separate territory as part of an anti-hierarchical release strategy - in the US, it's me, and an outfit in California that's doing an ultra-limited cassette edition (50-100 copies).
Here's the video for the first track, "Istana":

It's so good. I can't believe they let me be one of the labels participating in their experiment.

It does!

unperson - if we pre-ordered the CD, will there be a full album digital download?
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 19 February 2021 23:44 (three years ago) link
Yeah I was going to check on that since it hasn't activated today, but then I remembered he said his home internet's been out this week -- maybe hasn't had the chance yet?
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 20 February 2021 00:19 (three years ago) link
Ahhh good point Ned, thanks.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Saturday, 20 February 2021 01:07 (three years ago) link
Got the full code, thanks unperson! This is killer, really digging it.

Yeah, the first thing I did when my internet came back on Sunday afternoon was make the album live. Glad you're enjoying it; it really is an incredible record, like nothing else out there.

Finally got physical CDs in last week and mailed all the outstanding orders this morning. If you want a CD, I've got plenty still. Order with confidence (US orders only through Bandcamp; international folks, email me directly - burningambulance at gmail)!

for some reason the proper data for this doesn't pull up in Spinitron (which is a service that tracks radio plays), just FYI - it keeps thinking I mean the remix album.

LA folks - the museum I work for is bringing Senyawa out for a (free!) concert on February 17: https://hammer.ucla.edu/programs-events/2022/senyawa
I think this might be their first time ever playing in LA. Tell a friend!
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Thursday, 27 January 2022 20:07 (two years ago) link
have seen these guys play a few times (in Australia) and they are fkn incredible
― lemmy incaution (emsworth), Thursday, 27 January 2022 20:25 (two years ago) link
So we made a short video about Senyawa when they played in LA a few weeks back, which I think came out pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veHzOQKHQeg

Nice! They're such amazing artists, and really good guys — I'm honored to work with them.
