Hailing from Jakarta, Indonesia, alternative rock duo Scaller has released their second album Noises & Clarity, through Archangel Records.
The album featuring previously released singles ‘Chaos & Order’, ‘Music All We Have’ & ‘Inside My Head’. The album marks Reney Karamoy & Stella Gareth’s musical journey, embracing honesty in lyrics writing and immediacy in composing without too much overdone production.
Many tracks in the album come from the band’s spontaneous approach of jamming in one room which led to more organic vibes but rich in dynamics with rock energy and no corrective or audio manipulation in post just like the old days. As an overall theme, lyrically, the album is an amalgamation of the duo’s personal train of thoughts, embracing noises inside their heads and trying to make peace with it because noises & clarity coexist. Scaller describe this music as an articulation of resiliency and heroes’ journey, pursuing their personal enlightenment.
Noises And Clarity is available here.
Featuring Reney Karamoy (Guitars, co-lead vocals, drums programming, sampling, production) and Stella Gareth (Lead vocals, synthesizers, keyboards, additional engineering, visual direction) the band builds up a complex rhythmic and aggressive vocal line to feed music fans’ appetite.
They released their first EP 1991 in June 2013 and have been performing at various venues with other Indonesian independent artists.
The band gained more exposure in the industry within few months and have featured in numbers of online and print media.
It’s said their music “doesn’t just give you a glimpse of the path less travelled but also offers the sounds that inspire young generation”.
