Malaikat dan Singa

Malaikat Dan Singa is a collection of throbbing, hallucinogenic, trance-inducing trans-utopian cosmic post-punk sounds from Old Time Relijun's Arrington de Dionyso. Never one to compromise in pursuit of his twisted visions of the future of music, de Dionyso not only rattles listeners with heavy grooves but he also sings every song on this album in Indonesian. What the fuck? Arrington tells us that some of the lyrics are lifted from the poems of William Blake and passages from The Zohar.

Musically speaking, despite the Indonesian influence, de Dionyso doesn't survey continents in search of exotic sounds. Instead, he drills holes through them with a contemporary urgency. Malaikat Dan Singa is an album of translated and personal mysticism that sounds like it was dug up from the Earth. Left here from a future time, unknown to us in the present.
