It is 2026 and Q1 is about to start. So that means a new playlist for the coming quarter. And I will start with some Indonesian music, specifically Indie music. Somehow I felt like listening to some music from my roots.
Got quite a few from the playlist "Indienesia The best of 2025". I will try to highlight a few in this thread.

Artist: White Chorus.
I quite like their electro-pop music, the topics of their lyrics are also interesting. The song "Ingatlah aku di sini" kinda feels like a comfort song. If you are alone, remember I am here. Together with the synths feels very satisfying.
Also, have to mention "Jaga nafas" as well. Just the driving beat gets me hyped up!

Artist: La Luna - Selepas Kau Pergi
The phrase "Bantu aku membencimu" always sticks with me. When somebody needs help to hate someone, just because you love that person so much. It feels too romantic, almost Shakespearean.
Gotta love this classic. Therefore back in #TheQuarterlyPlaylist #2026Q1
