Many of us know Sacha Stevenson from her "How to Act Indonesian" series. The expatriate's satirical Youtube videos served as a mirror for Indonesians to look and laugh at themselves, and quickly went viral through various social medias. Currently broadening the themes of her sketch comedy series, Whiteboard Journal had a chance to talk to Sacha Stevenson before a shoot in Kemang, South Jakarta.
One thing that could underline the wide scope of exploration Sajama Cut is the figure of Marcel Thee as the vanguard of their eclectic discography. Indie rock, noise pop, ambient, folk-rock, baroque pop, lo-fi to electronics are various genres of music that have been explored by Sajama Cut. 4 years later, after the album "Manimal", Sajama Cut is preparing their 4th album.
The new thing that will be explored in the fourth album is the involvement of Sajama Cut’s personnel. As said by Banu, Sajama Cut’s drummer, "we all have different influences, and we continue to explore new music, from any era. There has never been the same Sajama Cut album from time to time. And the most challenging aspects of this album are how it will show us the integrity of Sajama Cut as a band." Not only that, this fourth album will also involve wide-scale artistic presentation that will be done with Sajama Cut’s artistic peers, including video art, paintings, illustrations, poetry, to short films.
And with these concepts, Sajama Cut with Elevation Records as a label-which plans to release the album in a variety of formats, has also been preparing a series of eclectic introduction teasers. In this latest teaser video, Sajama Cut again gave a little excerpt from one of the new songs that will be released in the 4th album, along with spoken words from their friends Chris Holms, who read out the pieces of the lyrics of some of the new songs. Those who have keen hearing will capture some of the titles of the new songs from the speech.
Though Jakarta is not known as a green capital, the city still has some green spaces to visit. With the increasing level of urbanization every year, the significance of green spaces also is becoming more apparent. Not only are green spaces essential for a fleeting escape from the uproar of the city, they also contribute to what most humans pursue in their life: happiness.
When your host with the most, Januar Kristianto, asked me if I wanted to make a special Converge episode of Heart Attack I had to immediately say yes as this Massachusetts metal-hardcore band played a big role in my youth. The group's atmospheric, heavy and often spastic music caught my attention at the first listen, and their constant evolution of sound kept me anticipating their next releases. The following are some of my favorite songs by the group, particularly from When Forever Comes Crashing, The Poacher Diaries split with Agoraphobic Nosebleed, You Fail Me, Petitioning the Empty Sky, the Caring and Killing compilation and perhaps their most famous album of all, Jane Doe.
I unfortunately could not find my collection of original Converge CDs, so some of the songs here come from remastered albums. I hope that you will be able to listen to the original releases because the gloomy production of When Forever Comes Crashing and Petitioning the Empty Sky's rawness really added atmosphere to those albums (or perhaps I'm just being nostalgic). Whether you are a long time listener of Converge or you are unfamiliar with their music, I hope you will enjoy this mix!

03. The High Cost of Playing God
04. Phoenix in Flames
05. Eagles Become Vultures
