There is a new hypeworthy label in town. Well, not our town exactly, but somewhere in West Java (Indonesia), the folks behind sundaysnacks seem determined to conquer the airwaves one catchy underground pop release at a time. New Capital’s Highschool/Girls is only the label’s second release (and yes, you should check out the first one too), but it already feels like they’re onto something.
These two songs tick all my boxes: catchy, energetic, uncomplicated, super short and delightfully fuzzy. Call it noise pop, alt-pop, indie pop, or whatever tag makes you happy. I’m not interested in arguing genres when the songs are this much fun. I’d rather just play them to death.
In fact, these tracks are so effortlessly effective that they almost make me want to pick up a guitar and try writing something similar myself. Almost. The difference is New Capital actually pulls it off.
