Bottlesmoker

Bottlesmoker is a music project by Anggung Suherman (Angkuy) and Ryan Nobie Adzani, from Bandung, Indonesia. In 2006, this duo has been working on experimental music in area of electronic pop - indietronic instrumental, that was still a rare thing to do in Indonesia circa 2000s. Bottlesmoker has been doing lots of experiment in the songs making, they adapt the way in which the Indonesia traditional instruments played, such as the musical beat of ‘kendang’ to the rhythmic repetition of ‘tarawangsa’. They sampling a record ritual of solo to choir, from Beluk performance in Tasikmalaya, to Panggaiyang in East Sumba which become the main vocalization in their new album, so the sounds that produced were so unique with a hint of a pop music taste that is so catchy, and danceable at the same time.
