Album "Selamanya", signed for me (;

I got this CD from The Overtunes and heard all songs from the album over and over again for the past 3 days. I am liking it! The music are colorful and very much different to be compared with other Indonesian music lately (say, the past 10-15 years). This band of 3 brothers brings out a fresh concept to the industry.

As I listen to the album, I found out why I love this band so much: they play the kind of genre I liked, even if it's still pop. I could hear a bit of Plain White T's, The Script, etc (well I can't say much about this because I'm not following today's music trend anymore). I've heard some of the songs on the radio ("Jatuh Dari Surga", "Dunia Bersamamu" and "Sayap Pelindungmu"), but never knew they sang all of it.

For me personally, I like "Alien" and "Mungkin" (the one reminds me to Plain White T's). But actually I like all of the songs. I could hear the whole album repeatedly. And "If It's For You" reminds me so much of Landon Pigg, Ed Sheeran or even Death Cab For Cutie--the kinds of pop/indie/folk I listen to. This is the kind of album you'll like listening to in a road trip or in your room before sleep.

I don't really understand music arrangement and composing technically, but I really enjoy the different arrangements they carry in each of their songs, with a clear vocal quality. Moreover, I haven't find anything to mock at (which I usually do to most Indonesian songs nowadays). Anyway, I'm saying that this is a must-have album for Indonesian, because The Overtunes really brings the tunes up to a whole new level!
