Pasar by Doa Sore
Doa Sore - Pasar
Doa Sore, an innovative Indonesian indie band, unveils their debut album Pasar in 2025, a vibrant tapestry of funk, Malay, and psychedelic influences. Named after one of its standout tracks, this nine-song collection is a dynamic reflection of Yogyakarta’s bustling energy and cultural depth, largely composed by the band’s drummer, Isnawan Akbar. His rhythmic vision drives the album, blending infectious grooves with soulful melodies and otherworldly textures.
The album features hit singles "Disko", a high-energy funk anthem with irresistible basslines and retro flair, "Sayang", a tender Malay-inspired ballad that tugs at the heartstrings, and "Pasar", a psychedelic ode to the chaotic vibrancy of traditional markets. Each track showcases Isnawan’s compositional prowess, layering intricate drum patterns with lush instrumentation that explore themes of love, community, and introspection.
Pasar is a bold introduction to Doa Sore’s genre-defying sound, merging the soul of Malay music with the swagger of funk and the expansive haze of psychedelia. Recorded with meticulous care, the album captures the band’s raw energy and cultural roots, establishing them as a fresh voice in the global indie scene.
