Debut ep from Indonesia’s psych/indie rock band Napolleon.
They describe their sound as “sound is more 1969/1970 Proto heavy rock than standard psych and we love them for it.”
This band is from Bandung, Indonesia. Formed in 2011 “when four young earthlings meet and dreaming about the sounds of outer space. They create hypnotizing and fuzzling sounds, as they blend echo-based sounds with experimental touch. They drawing some elements from 60’s psychedelic aesthetics to modern music with textured sound, and heavily inspired by Also Sprach Zarathustra.”
Text by Sean Hocking (Metal Postcard Rec)
The rest of the world appears to becoming increasingly aware of the music of South East Asia from the 70’s….. The Drakkar Band who have just re-issued the eponymous album Drakkar 74 on Hong Kong based label Metal Postcard is going to the USA to play some gigs to help John Pirozzi launch his amazing documentary Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten. It’s worth remembering that the last time they played outside the country was 1973 to US servicemen in Vietnam. We’d be calling the tour.. “From Apocolypse Now to Hipster Central”!
