Sumatraban's debut EP- 'MU' (Luau Records)

Sumatraban is a rocknroll trio from a coastal village in San Diego, Baja, Calfornia. The group was formed by singer/guitarist/provocateur Glen Galloway (Trumans Water, Soul Junk, Octagrape), who brought on Octagrape drummer T.S. Ward and, after listening to his Shining Path records far too often, coaxed guitarist/organist Preston Swirnoff out of retirement.

Together, through their mutual love of all things motorik, psych-Japan, messthetical, post-post-punkard, and Beefheartian, the 3 have formed a sound they call ‘Now-Wave’. Sculpted via weird acute triangle of contact-mic'd drums, tri-amped guitar sub-octaves, and dripping discordant keys. Big dystopian/utopian ideas are packed into four minute song blasts to maintain urgency. It is the sound of invisible cities, impossible buildings, and extinct waterways. It soon became obvious that they must name themselves after that infamous imaginary Indonesian thoroughfare with no speed limits and a mind-bending roadside view: the Sumatra-bahn.

Released by Luau Records London, UK 2018.

Grunge Twist. Danceable, Jazzy, Heavy, Awesomeness. Fully cranked sour-sugary goodness till your sick from it, carries you through the lethargic fever, and right back into dancing. You can hear the enjoyment and cathartic effort spewed out into it, so thick, that is pours right into the listener. Cut loose until your exhausted then get back up for a second, third, and forth wind. skabdude
