This band fascinates me. I don’t own any of their albums and have listened to only a handful of their songs on youtube or last.fm but from what I have heard, I really like. I suppose the reason why I’m so curious is because they’re an indiepop band from Indonesia. Who would have figured, but fantastic nonetheless. The songs they create are probably the epitome of twee - sickly sweet lyrics with a simple catchy music backing. Their debut album ‘My Diary’ seems like it would be a true testament to this, but really I’m just going based on the one song I’ve heard and what they’ve written on their website:

“My Diary” contains 13 songs written from a girl’s point of view and her diary entries. The album starts with a Once Upon A Time and is followed by a song telling of a first encounter with her Secret Admirer. Then after much hesitation in Twist Me Around, she decides to go steady with the boy in Me & My Boyfriend. In Telephone they break up, understanding that When the Moonlight Shines, they just weren’t meant for each other and thus, Rain Will Fall, Life Keeps On Turning.

Doesn’t get much more twee than that my friends. Here’s a couple of videos. The first, ‘I Would Never Friend’ features Karoline Komstedt from Club 8 (yowza!) and the second, ‘Life Keeps On Turning’ features our very own Ricky on the night of his high school prom.
