Adios Nine

Adios Nine, kwartet surf-pop / indie-rock lokal terbaik asal Jakarta ini baru saja merilis sebuah double EP bertajuk Before The World Ends secara self-release.

Sebelumnya Adios Nine telah merilis Alors! (single, 2011), Pundit Bandit (EP, 2011) & Sleepers And Dreamers (EP, 2011). Kami pun juga pernah mengulas mereka pada tahun 2011 yang lalu.

Double EP Before The World Ends dibagi menjadi dua, yakni aransemen “normal” dengan aransemen “eksperimental”. Materi yang diaransemen menjadi dua versi di dua EP ini pun sama. Otomatis Before The World Ends langsung menjadi salah satu rilisan favorit kami untuk awal tahun 2013.

Direkomendasikan bagi para penyuka musik-musik dari: Best Coast, Real Estate, The Drums, Beach Fossils, Surfer Blood, Wavves dan Vivian Girls. Ingin mendapatkan Before The World Ends [2xEP] ? Klik ke sini. - Wasted Rockers

Enough musicians try their hand at picking up an acoustic guitar and churning out sentimental pop classics, but few achieve the immediacy and familiarity of Adios Nine. Their anglophilic songs vary from sounding like an addition to Alex Turner’s Submarine soundtrack to a less fuzzy track from Big Deal‘s first LP. However, the jangle of “Under The Sea” and post-punk “Kids With Ukulele” prove that they aren’t limited to straightforward arrangements. There’s an authenticity to their songwriting that sets them apart from the radio-pining chorus chanters. They may end up being broadcast alongside those artists one day, but if so, it will be for their capability, not compromise. - The Owl Mag

With lyrics that explore the very essence of human nature and question the existence of the world around us, you could say that ‘Mankind’’s subject matter is a little grandiose. I’m sure that Adios Nine know what they’re on about, but I don’t have a clue. What I do know, however, is that ‘Mankind’ is rhythmic, hypnotic and downright brilliant – think Efterklang or Foals at their most subdued and you wont be too far off the mark. - Fresh On The Net
