Jakarta-born, Melbourne-honed trio BABON make a powerful first statement with Tropical Desert, their debut album blending Indonesian traditions with global grooves to tell stories of ecological collapse and survival. Recorded at the historic Lokananta studio in Solo, the record folds keroncong and dangdut textures into a wider palette of Afro-funk, Latin sway and cinematic Western atmospheres. 'Cacti Traveler' and 'Wolter Waltz' stand out for their hypnotic rhythmic pull, while the closing 'Mirage' drifts between hope and desolation with a widescreen grace. The sole vocal track, 'Pesan Dari Gurun' featuring indie-folk artist Frau, strikes hardest, her voice carrying both lament and resilience. BABON channel landscape and lore into a timely, deeply compelling instrumental journey.
