Lair (pronounced “lah-eer,” a local dialect for the Indonesian word of ‘lahir’, meaning ‘birth’ or, roughly ‘being born’) is a Panturan-soul/funk outfit hailing from Jatiwangi, West Java, Indonesia. They are set to release their new album titled ‘Ngélar’ on the 23rd of February via Guruguru Brain. The first track from the record, “Tatalu” is online today.
Groove laden, guitar led brilliance from Indonesia which is dripping in eastern flavours with a straight up rock bite. The whooping vocals and hypnotic passages are what grabs hold and you cannot help but be whipped up with their eastern tinged funk.
