THROWBACK REVIEW

Infectious and memorable, one of the few songs that’s still celebrated in the Indonesian indie rock today. Tastefully adorned with feverish synths and nostalgia-inducing guitar riffs, Matraman speaks of love that’s just not meant to be, no matter how hard you try.

Despite the depressing message, it’s a celebration of doomed love being part and parcel of living and loving in your youth. Definitely a go-to new wave track for anyone looking to dance by themselves, or even with someone special.
