Psalms, The
“You might find it hard to deconstruct The Psalms. Even during the gig I attended, people began making comparisons; “Singapore’s Melt Banana” or “The Locust with a female singer”, which I never encourage, but it’s just so instinctive to want to try and stick a label on something, so it is understandable. Still I don’t even know where to begin describing them.
They’re just out there and enjoying every minute of it. Perhaps, if I follow my instincts, I can say that they’re Sun Ra with rock riffs and a jazz improv a la Miles Davis with surprises thrown here and there, plus distorted bass lines akin to Japan’s Ruins.”
- Ari Ernesto Purnama of The Jakarta Post
