ALLbum : American Authors (2013)


They are not writers but they are musicians. A great talent that emphasis both lyric and song for some inspiration and motivation to the audience. The American quartet derives the folk rock genre entirely to their first debut extended play, self titled, American Authors. This EP consist of 5 song with different kind of theme yet still same in contemporary genre.

First track is Believer. Some people may say this song kindly to be spiritual belief and faith but it's not like you think of it. Actually, it's quite natural in term of general meaning. Second track, their greatest hits Best Day Of My Life. Cheer of wonderful song that put them to the world stage. Next song is Luck. Ordinary native folk song.

The fourth track is Hit It. Quite a fast beat music delivers some excitement and joy. Lastly is Home. Truly homesick. It depicts the journey going back home with some kind of obstacle such as hills and valleys. All tracks are included to their first debut album, Oh, What A Life that release in 2014. I assumed this EP could be the first introduction of American Authors music to the world.

Mixed emotion after I listening all tracks inside these EP. Sometimes you feel alive and passionate, sometimes you feel sad and guilt but the other way around, you keep yourself happy. It's quite balance tough. Kindly catchy and simple. Truly amazing piece of art. For the record, I give around 80 out of 100.

dr.pd. : Johny Comes Lately - Fumikna

Image
Disebabkan muzik video kumpulan indie tempatan ini selalu dimainkan di Astro Hitz saluran 705 , tercetusnya idea untuk saya memberi pandangan mengenai kumpulan ini. Saya tidak mengetahui maksud Fumikna itu sendiri malah tidak tahu serta mengkaji bait-bait lirik lagu tersebut secara lebih mendalam. Maknanya mungkin tersirat berdasarkan gaya vokal yang bersahaja dan ada kalanya nada sedikit marah. Kemungkinan besar liriknya berkaitan dengan kehidupan sosial dan keadaan sekeliling yang sentiasa berubah. Satu gabungan muzik yang mantap antara alternatif rock dan ska . Muzik videonya pula cukup ringkas dengan tema berwarna hitam. budi bicara adalah dinasihatkan

Ulasan Novel Jiwa Kacau

Novel Jiwa Kacau daripada penulis Zati Hanani dan diterbitkan oleh Lejen Press. Aku beli buku ni kat Kedai Buku 1Malaysia di UTC Alor Setar. Aku tak sangka, aku beli novel ni amat murah di Kedai Buku 1Malaysia berbanding MPH. Ia berharga RM 17 berbanding harga biasa iaitu RM 20. Mungkin depa bagi diskaun kot. Tapi, aku dapat jimat 3 Ringgit. Novel ni dah lama berada di pasaran. Tapi, aku beli novel ni masa ia masih 'fresh' lagi iaitu cetakan pertama, Januari 2015. Novel kedua yang berjaya aku habiskan membacanya selepas novel Bau Semangat Anak Muda. Aku tertarik nak beli dan baca novel ni disebabkan kisah 4 individu yang ingin menubuhkan sebuah band muzik. Lagipun, aku memang pencinta muzik terutamanya indie group band. Novel ini ditulis oleh penulis perempuan iaitu Zati Hanani. Jadi, aku nak tau macamana dia menceritakan kisah sebuah band itu bermula dan berkembang dari kacamata seorang perempuan. Khabarnya, novel Jiwa Kacau ni adalah novel pertama beliau yang berjaya diter

ALLbum : Passion Pit - Manners (2009)

Manners were the first Passion Pit debut album that consist eleven songs including Sleepyhead , the song from their first EP ( Extended Play ) called Chunk Of Change . Manners deliver atmospheric feeling where they creating an exciting or emotional mood in certain song combined with awesome poetry lyrics.  I've  seen a lot of positive feedback from professional critics about Manners album in the internet such as Pitchfork ; suggest that Manners is deceptively consistent beyond its singles where if you like one Passion Pit song, you’ll probably like them all . [ Well, it’s true and it’s happen to me. The first songs  I've  hear from these albums was Little Secrets then Moth’s Wings until the last song entitle Seaweed Song . Honestly, I admit that I really like all Passion Pit songs either from Manners album or their latest album, Gossamer even their first EP , Chunk Of Change ] However, Paste Magazine conclude that not every song is perfect but perfection is
