The Trees and The Wild

Local indie label Lil’Fish Records discovered the Trees and the Wild on Myspace in 2008 and the band released its debut album Rasuk the following year, bagging a host of awards. Rolling Stone Indonesia called the Trees and the Wild one of the year’s must-see acts, while the Jakarta Post recognized an “epic quality” to their songs.

Remedy says the band draws their lyrical inspiration from “family, Indonesian life and landscape.” While their melodic influences include traditional Indonesian folk music and hymns, their cultural interests stretch beyond music. The band recently collaborated with videographer Dimas Wisnuwardono on a short documentary about a group of villagers from Tana Beru in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, struggling to preserve and restore their antique pinisi boat. Expect that empathy and love for the rhythms of Indonesian life to suffuse their sophomore recording, due later this year.

Despite of their differences, their music is reminiscent of the twee/ sunshine pop. Influenced by the Velvet Underground, The Beatles, The Wonders, The Smith, Rocketship, makes it sounds childish, sweet and cheerful. Their easily-to-be-digested lyrics makes Afterclass such an easy-listening band. It’s the music you would love to hear while you were doing picnic in the park with the-striped-shirt and an old-bike.
