Split Album thedyingsirens & pop up 12.12.12.
*cover design by @primasdanarta (Primas Danarta)
Ketika Uga dari thedyingsirens dan Arfi dari pop up bertemu kembali, tercetuslah ide untuk mengeluarkan split album. Yang unik adalah, split album yang biasa dilakukan oleh sesama band punk atau Hard Core, kali ini dilakukan oleh dua band yang berbeda aliran; indie rock (thedyingsirens)dan pop (pop up). Uga sendiri dulunya pernah bergabung dengan pop up sebagai drummer/songwriter.
Karena ini split album, jadi masing-masing band mempunyai lagu jagoan mereka sendiri. thedyingsirens dengan “Our Times Our Feelings” dan pop up dengan “Taman”. Our Times Our Feeling adalah lagu ciptaan Uga yg bercerita tentang hubungan cinta yang ups and downs yang berakhir dengan happy ending. Sementara Taman (yang liriknya dibuat oleh Uga dan musik oleh Danu, gitaris pop up) sama sekali bukan bercerita tentang taman, tapi tentang sesuatu yang lain yang hanya bisa dimengerti oleh pemikiran yang dalam.
Split album ini hanya dijual dalam format digital saja. Split album yang berisikan total 12 lagu (masing-masing band menyumbangkan 6 lagu terbaru mereka) bisa dibeli di http://popsirensrecords.multiply.com mulai tanggal 12 Desember 2012 (12.12.12).
*tanggal 22 Desember 2012 thedyingsirens dan pop up akan mengadakan showcase di tokove kemang Jakarta. Untuk RSVP bisa email ke popsirensrecords@gmail.com atau sms ke 081285004612

About thedyingsirens
thedyingsirens is a music project from Jakarta, made in 2002 by Pugar Restu Julian. He was a drummer and a founder of pop up, C’mon Lennon and Morning Bell (Radiohead cover band). He was also an additional drummer for many indie musicians/bands from Jakarta, such as Planet Bumi, Zeke and the Popo, Sore, Tika, Blossom Diary, the Sweaters, a Boy Named Santiago, Clover, Sugarstar, etc. The name thedyingsirens comes from the condition at that time. He was so vulnerable, fragile, depressed, and in the lowest point of his life.
