Great news everybody! After listening to their great new single Tam Tam Buku (soundcloud below) I get an email from Indra Ameng detailing their new record that will get an official release Monday! As you have probably heard from your friends, the group will release a 5 song EP featuring their reworkings of traditional Indonesian music. Be sure to head to Echo Bar to watch them perform, and an extra treat featuring DJ AK47, DJ Dr. Satomata and Baba Masamichi (They are great, believe me!). We hope to see you there on monday, as we will surely be there. Check out the info below and watch Anggun Priambodo's video above documenting the group's album cover photoshoot.

When I played Tam Tam Buku on my laptop, my dear coworkers Athina Ibrahim and Chandra Drews immediately turned their heads and asked \"who is this?\". To their surprise, and a pleasant surprise it indeed is, it was White Shoes and the Couples Company. The group is about to release their newest record \"White Shoes & The Couples Company Menyanyikan Lagu2 Daerah\", a 5 song mini-album that have them reworking Indonesian folk songs into the group\'s brand of casino euro pop music. Tam Tam Buku resonate a very vintage sounds, nailing the production with a noticeable reverb on the instruments and vocals. The back and forth vocals of the guys and gals of the group is super catchy, and the delay-filled lead guitar and drums really stands out. This is a must listen, so click the Soundcloud embed below and enjoy!
