Jakartah - “In The Nervous Light Of Coincidence” - Borrow It

text: Daniel Couch

Jakartah incorporate the strident urgency of hardcore with the precise, whirling architectures of early 2000s Dischord bands. Though they lack the dynamics of the instrumentation, the vocals stand out for their clarity. Jakartah’s need to be understood outweighs the emotional posturing of rage that is too frequent in their contemporaries.

Reminds us of:  Ian’s Fugazi | a mellower Botch | June of 44

love that melophobe has more “couples” reviewers, and more “Ian/Ion/Ian/Iain” than the average site…
