From the very first notes of the opening ninety-second Gallery Window track, Tossing Seed make it very clear that theirs’ is an aesthetic that is entirely atypical of the soft and fragile that typifies Indonesian guitar-pop.

Not that it is dispelled altogether, as the sultry, sweet, semi-disinterested female vocals that are the area’s trademark indie-pop sound find the perfect home in the more jangly tracks such as the beautiful Fall of Sweat Pea and the simply superlative closer, Can I Still Shine. Imagine Paska Records labelmates The Carolines with a fuzz-pop augmentation, and you are just about in the right musical ballpark.

However, as beautiful as Tossing Seeds’ lower-tempo tracks are, this album is dominated by the brilliance of their version of ‘raucous’. Still tethered to an indie-pop core courtesy of the omnipresent vocal sweetness, this sense of saccharine is engulfed by a guitar incessance that sounds like the perfect juxtaposition between Mo Troper-style power-pop incessance and the dynamism of another South East Asian act in Lucie Too.
