Jakarta's power-pop quintet Morfem is refreshingly fun. The band, the latest from The Upstair's Jimi Multhazam, plays fuzzed out pop that wears its influences well. There's a bit of pop punk, a bit of college rock, and a heavy helping of 90s nostalgia in these tracks.The band's latest music video is a near-perfect soundtrack for a Saturday nights town, capturing all the capital's manic, sweaty fun with seriously melodic solos and hooks galore. If your idea of the perfect first date is a night of cold beer and hot mosh pits, then "Roman Underground" might be about you.
