Annemarie

If there’s one thing that Indie Indonesian bands are great at, it’s the heavenly jangly guitar sounds which they’ve perfected in their brand of indie pop music. I feel like I should know more about the Indonesian twee pop band Annemarie, but there’s not much I can dig out on these guys. What used to be their MySpace page is unfortunately, no longer in existence. Which makes me draw to the conclusion of; perhaps they’ve disbanded and stopped their career of music making altogether. However, if you scour the blogosphere, you’ll find an odd post or two, speaking favorably of Annemarie’s previous works.

I didn’t expect to get this hooked on the band, but after taking a listen to one of their most noteworthy track, ‘Apple(Suicide on your Stereo Set)’, taken from their debut album, ABC on TV, I can’t seem to stop listening to it ever since. ‘Less than perfect’, yet sweet vocals grace sparkly melodies, forming a perfect pop charmer that’s easy on the ears. Even more worth mentioning is the unperfected English pronunciation that actually comes off endearing to me. I have to say, it’s the minor flaws and imperfections in the tune that makes it so much more intriguing to listen to over and over again.

My mistake, here's their myspace. Very happy to the band alive, doing well, and still creating music.
