With raunchy, raspy vocals on half the tracks, and unexpected touches in their melodies and instrumentation (the Farfisa keys on \u201cMenuju Palung Terdalam\u201d, the accordion opening \u201cTafsir Mistik\u201d), Bandung, Indonesia\u2019s Panturas range well beyond the familiar parameters of surf rock, set in stone since the \u201960s. This isn\u2019t to say that they aren\u2019t upfront about their debt to Dick Dale and The Ventures, as well as Indonesian surf pioneers Eka Sapta and The Tielman Brothers. The reverb is thick and splashy throughout, the tremolo picking appropriately caffeinated. The sonics on the notionally mellow instrumental \u201cIntana\u201d are gloriously chaotic and cavernous. That\u2019s followed immediately, though, by the ludicrous \u201cMasalembo\u201d, a rockabilly bottle rocket that bursts into borderline industrial noise. The title track closes the album in grand style, it\u2019s the strongest of the bunch and seems to say, sit tight, we\u2019ll be back with more soon enough.
