Tellabye, Sugarstar's First EP After 2 Decades

JAKARTA - The shoegaze group from Jakarta, Sugarstar presents a debut EP titled Tellabye on Wednesday, June 23. This album marked the emergence of Sugarstar after being considered a mythical band.

This band is often heard from several sources ranging from digital, hangout places to a few photos. Tellabye contains four songs namely Idle Ignorance, Delirious with Anindita Saryuf, one hidden track and the main track - Tellabye.

Interestingly, these songs are mostly the result of restoration of the original material that has been salvaged. They have recorded 60 songs on a hard disk which unfortunately was damaged and could not be restored.

Sugarstar consists of Joseph, Eldest, Merdi, Haryo, and Christ trying to close the 20 years story through a release.

"It could be that we view this release as an attempt to close the loop, yes, or close the Sugarstar story from several separate parts over the last 20 years," said Iyub.

The disbanded band Sugarstar wants to keep their musical memories marked through Tellabye. This album can be heard digitally.
