The Lousy Pop Group’s record label, Shiny Happy Records, suggest the band’s new EP would be “for the fans of Brighter, Harper Lee, Nixon, The Field Mice, etc”. They are not kidding. Eko Sutrisno, the man behind the monikor, has been writing and playing indiepop songs that echo to the sounds of Bristol for a few years now and these gentle, melodic songs could be his best yet.
Taking inspiration from Sarah (and Matinee, Cloudberry and Labrador too) Sutrisno not only pays homage but also builds on those influences to create some lovely twee-pop moments that are so right for today. I suspect in two decades time, there may be those who take The Lousy Pop Group as their starting point and build on the legacy of Indonesian indiepop circa the 2020s.
Last Breath is out now on Shiny Happy Records.
