REVIEW

Second EP from Indonesian alternative rock/shoegaze band Sunlotus.

The release captivates with the pleasurable tension between melancholic, sweet melodies and crushingly heavy, noise-laden guitars. “Skin Graft” stands out as a near-perfect example of heavy shoegaze.

The band seems to have a close relationship with Thailand’s Death of Heather, and seeing their playful X (Twitter) exchanges about wanting to tour Japan together had me grinning from ear to ear. Can’t wait for them to finally make it here.
