Exclusive play: a new piece by Karnivulgar

Saat Kuingin Lepas Seperti Matahari Tapi Matahari Terikat Orbit (When I Want to be Free Like The Sun But The Sun is Bound The Orbit)

That’s the album title. This release is a sign of some changes in Karnivulgar’s sound style. It is like some scream from the bottom of Karnivulgar’s heart to be more free as a being. Let’s check this exclusive play of the album you can now pre-order on Def-n Radio!

When a person has to be at home and has limited movement to go outside the house, that is how the person makes more connections with people inside the house. However, instead of did it, the person is alienated in the house. By someone that person loves. This is about how a human try to be free. But, the freedom itself is just a fantasy that imagined by itself.

We’re changing concept

Long time no see! We’re now changing the concept of the zine.

While it’s changing, you can tell us your idea(s) to make us better for you. We want to do something more effective (and efficient) to bring words of subcultures and experimental/noise art. Moreover, we also do some more in Bahasa Indonesia. The English will stand still (please tell us more ideas). You can still enjoy Def-n Radio (label) and off air gigs.

Furthermore, we’re doing podcast in Bahasa Indonesia. The podcast named Radio Kancut and you can enjoy it on multiple platforms such as Anchor, Spotify, Google Podcast, iTunes, and etc. We’re open for contributors to join the podcast show by sending your own podcast in any language(s).

Anyway, that’s the news. We will add more articles here later. See you!
