about

From the shores of Tua Pejat to the volcanic backdrop of Mount Salak, we welcome you to our new roster, The Mentawais!

The Mentawais merupakan grup instrumental surf yang dibentuk pada tahun 2015 di Bogor, Indonesia. Kwartet yang terdiri dari Andre Varian (Drums), Bena Waketversa (Bass), Muhammad Arifyandi (Guitar), serta Umar Bawahab (Guitar) ini selama kurun dua tahun perjalanannya memutuskan untuk tidak melakukan pertunjukan sama sekali dan lebih fokus di studio untuk merekam materi-materi lagu mereka. Pada tahun 2017, berkerja sama dengan Hujan! Rekords dan Kick it Records, The Mentawais akan merilis debut mini album mereka yang diberi judul Surfin’ Java dalam format kaset pita yang rencananya akan dirilis bertepatan dengan perayaan Record Store Day 2017.

Direkam di Fake Hero Studio Bogor dan diproduseri langsung oleh The Mentawais, keseluruhan materi pada debut mini album Surfin' Java memiliki nuansa 60s surf style tradisional yang kental dengan balutan reverb nan drippy serta sound gitar yang twangy. Sebagai perkenalan menuju perilisan mini album yang berisikan empat materi segar tersebut, The Mentawais melepas lagu berjudul “Surfin’ Java” sebagai single pertama dari mini album bernama sama pada tanggal 1 April 2017 nanti melalui kanal soundcloud Hujan! Rekords dan Kick It Records.

Menurut The Mentawais, mini album Surfin’Java banyak terinspirasi dari spot surfing Batu Karas di Pangandaran, Jawa Barat yang masih terdapat banyak surfer yang menggunakan longboard dan mengingatkan akan era keemasan 60’s California beach scene di pantai barat Amerika. Dibantu oleh Kankabono seorang videografer surf dari Batu Karas, The Mentawais juga melepas teaser video untuk Surfin’Java di YouTube yang dapat ditonton di kanal milik Hujan! Rekords dan Kick It Records. Paket mini album Surfin’Java nantinya akan dibanderol seharga Rp 40.000 dan berisikan kaset pita, sticker, serta voucher download untuk mengunduh versi digital dari mini album ini.

Tidak memiliki budget untuk sekedar liburan ke pantai? Atau situs web ramalan ombak favoritmu menunjukan bahwa weekend ini akan flat? Tidak masalah, The Mentawais akan membawamu pergi ke sana menuju ombak terbaikmu dengan dengan Surfin' Java! - 88
