SINGLE BARU SAJAMA CUT 2010

Setelah 5 tahun lalu merilis album The Osaka Journals (“1 dari 5 album terbaik dekade 2000” menurut The Jakarta Post), Sajama Cut kembali dengan single terbaru mereka yang berjudul PAINTINGS/PANTINGS pada Maret 2010 ini.



Lagu berkarakter Baroque Pop ini mengedepankan harmonisasi vokal ala Beach Boys era “Surf’s Up” serta aransemen ala Van Dyke Parks di album “Song Cycle” dan Lee Hazlewood di album “Requiem For An Almost Lady” yang banyak menggunakan seksi brass seperti Terompet Perancis, String quartet, perkusi-perkusi unik, dan instrument-instrumen lain yang masih jarang digunakan oleh musisi-musisi lokal kita.



Lirik non-konvensional dan bernuansa abstrak dalam bahasa inggris yang sempurna masih menjadi ciri dari band yang beranggotakan Marcel Thee, Dion Panlima Reza, Randy Apriza Akbar, Hans Citra, Andreas Humala, dan Banu Satrio ini.



Seperti selalu, band yang memainkan jenis musik mulai dari indie rock, folk pop, elektronika, ambient, sunshine pop, dan chamber pop ini mengedepankan kedinamisan musikal mereka yang tanpa limitasi - Sekali lagi Sajama Cut bereksperimen dengan pengaruh-pengaruh musik dan seni yang baru.



PAINTINGS/PANTINGS adalah single pertama dari album ketiga Sajama Cut, MANIMAL yang akan dirilis pada akhir April 2010 melalui The Bronze Medal Records dengan distribusi dari DeMajors.



PAINTINGS/PANTINGS is a free download for everybody who wants to listen.

He wanders among misty bogs turned surreal

"He wanders among misty bogs turned surreal, he talks to the wee folk of his own bad dreams, he files reports on introspected black visions with a kind of blarney eloquence. Like an actress cradling a doll for her stage baby, his language keens and croons about tales that are not quite there." Melvin Maddocks is talking about Samuel Beckett, a literary legend of the twentieth century. "It is neither night nor morning. A man must find himself without the support of groups, or labels, or slogans," writes R. D. Smith. And Beckett, by removing his characters from nearly all recognizable contexts, Smith continues, is "engaged in finding or saving" himself. Martin Esslin writes: "What is the essence of the experience of being? asks Beckett. And so he begins to strip away the inessentials. What is the meaning of the phrase 'I am myself'? he asks . . . and is then compelled to try to distinguish between the merely accidental characteristics that make up an individual and the essence of his self." A Time reviewer noted: "Some chronicle men on their way up; others tackle men on their way down. Samuel Beckett stalks after men on their way out."
