CD Version Of Greenhouse Effect Album, Rimpang Released In Special Format

JAKARTA - After being released in digital format, the Rimpang album from the Greenhouse Effect (ERK) is now present in CD form in collaboration with the record label company demajors.

Launching a new work is always a fun moment and a relief. The tones that haunt ERK after releasing Sinesia at the end of 2015, eventually come out of the head and turn into Rimpang, the album to the four Greenhouse Effects.

Although it was interspersed with the work on the mini album Jalan Six Tiga in 2020, since 2016 ERK has slowly collected materials, recorded, arranged, listened to various recording results, reopened, then completed the recording process, which turned out not to be 'easy'. We managed to finish ten songs with difficulty and difficulty, apart from joy of course.

This is our first full album without Adrian Yunan, whose fingerprints are so thick in songs and lyrics. However, the presence of Poppie Airil and Reza Ryan allowed us to step into areas we had never explored before, thus making Rimpang an album that we felt was different from our previous albums. Hopefully, as well as the next albums, we will continue to explore. "explained Cholil, the vocalist, in an official statement received by the editor.

Rimpang is one of the songs on the album that is considered the most appropriate to represent what ERK wants to convey and become the common thread of various criticisms and autocriticisms as well as flatness and anxiety, so that Rimpang becomes the album title.

Inspired by the theory of rhizome by Deleuze and Guattari, Rimpang is an illustration of how hopes, both small and large, appear randomly, non-linear, without hierarchy, and in various situations (chains and depressed) spread secretly.

Heroic, which was launched in September 2022, is the first single from the album Rimpang, as well as an introduction or lattice to the next ERK musical direction. Furthermore, Fun Kaya Fun, the track focus on this album is performed with Suraa, a pseudonym from Cempaka Surakusumah who often helps ERK perform on various stages.

Apart from Suraa, ERK also succeeded in realizing its dream of collaborating with the hip-hop dedengkot, whose works they admired, Morgue Vanguard, on the song Bersemi Sekebun.

On April 8, 2023, ERK is working with the Indonesian Institute (IFI) Jakarta to carry out the CD launch and lyric video of the Rupang album on IFI Jakarta. More information is available on ERK social media.

The Rimpang album CD is here as a special package which also contains 10 postcards whose illustrations represent each song on the album. CD packages are available from March 31, 2023.
