EASTERN MARGINS PREMIERE

'Pointless War Machine' by @logiclost, is a refracted hallucination taken from BRUTEFORCED 01, the first compilation by Yogyakarta's @softbruterecords. A moment of tranquility on an EP of brutal tension, @logiclost evokes the haze of 00s DMZ-eyes down bass-weight, transported to the twilight of a humid Jakarta night in the low season.

'I've been reading about war technology recently and read about these two monstrosities called the Paris Gun and the bertha howitzer in WWI. They are capable of incredible damage but are ineffective in battle and existed merely as symbols of western cockiness and their eternal lust for war. Therefore pointless war machines.”

BRUTEFORCED 01 sees @softbruterecords drawing from 4 artists across cities and scenes in Indonesia's thriving experimental underground, and represents the surface ripples of a deep lake of talent. Keep your ears to the ground for this crew - this is just the beginning.
