In Ominous times, this psych rock band from Malaysia jams it out anyway!

SonaOne flexes his trilingual wackiness (Malay, English, French) in a club-banger fusion that combines funny one-liners and zingers.

It also takes time to simmer, not rushing into the chaos way too fast or too early. An emotional rollercoaster.

All of this is caught in a whirlwind of dense, gritty production that manages to maintain a sweet kind of manic melody

Bila Kau Jatuh hits the right spot with the way it swings between unbridled hardcore energy and a sweet chant-worthy chorus.

There’s a triumphant journey going on in my mind, filled with chants and natural wonder, as I sit and absorb the beauty that is Masansam.
