Rekah – Kiamat, Babak Pertama – EP

Rekah is back with another shenanigan.

After undergoing massive lineup change, this gang of five is back stronger than ever with this new EP in hand.

“Kiamat, babak pertama” is a sneak-peek into Rekah’s upcoming first full-length that they’ve been working on since late 2019. As history will dictate, pandemic happened in 2020 and it seems like it has no intention to stop until this text is written. It obliterates everything they’ve been working on.

They realized that their album is still far from finished. Looming threats of unemployment, pandemic-induced wage cuts, state-sanctioned violence, and desperation halts their recording process. But, what can they say? The show must go on, because what is life without loud, abrasive music?

Thus, they decided to release the first act of their their album as an EP.

“Kiamat babak pertama” covers a lot of differing topics that are more grounded compared to their debut, from a love letter to a independent local music venue in Jakarta, how to ascend above despair in this trying time, to alcoholism.

All the lyrics are written in Indonesian.

Staff Comments: 

“We start off the year with something depressingly good. Rekah matures sonically with their lineup change. Their songwriting is more focused on this EP and it speaks to the void:)”
