Big Crown is proud to present Thee Marloes' sophomore album, Di Hotel Malibu. It arrives as a widening of the frame - a confident step away from the lines that once neatly held their sound, and toward something more porous, conversational, and deeply Indonesian. It's been two years since Perak, the Surabaya trio's debut for Big Crown Records, introduced their unique sound. This new record doesn't abandon that lineage so much as stretch it, showing how much they have grown as a band since the release of their debut and all the experiences that came with it. Composed of vocalist and keyboardist Natassya Sianturi, guitarist and producer Sinatrya Dharaka and drummer Tommy Satwick, Thee Marloes have always worked as a unit, their songs shaped by shared reference points and a lived-in sense of groove. On this album, that collective language expands. The arrangements move across a broader spectrum, with new instrumental colors, unexpected rhythmic turns, and a looser approach to structure. The band describes it as a response to the last two years of living: social realities, love lives in flux, and all that success has brought into their lives.The album opener "Under the Silver Moon" is a stone cold two-stepper that addresses the bitter and the sweet of long-distance love affairs over a breezy musical backdrop. "Six Years" is a page from singer Natassya Sianturi's life and her struggle to take the step of leaving a comfortable and stable daytime job to follow her dreams of a full-time career in music. "Harap Dan Ragu" explores life, death, and the emotions that orbit them, opening with an earworm guitar riff that ushers in Sianturi's honeyed vocals, this time in her native language of Indonesian. The album continues to switch vibes and tones track to track with the darker, more introspective "The More". The gorgeous musicianship and pulsing drums are met with the deeply poetic lyrics that walk the line between futility and unbreakable resilience. Thee Marloes dip into their drop dead gorgeous ballad bag with "Through The Changes" with a powerful yet delicate song about how we imagine and deal with what comes after death. "Boru" sung entirely in Batak, a traditional language from North Sumatera, goes further into asserting heritage as a foundation and mission statement for the group while "I'd Be Lost" takes us back to the dancefloor with a light and lovely profession of love.In the end, Di Hotel Malibu is the result of the best type of inspiration: the global attention Thee Marloes have earned, and the chance to play their homegrown music for fans around the world has put wind in their sails. Enjoy the record, then catch them as they tour the globe. Soul Music from Surabaya, another Big Crown Sureshot.
