Monkey To Millionaire is not a foreign name in the alternative music scene of the country. Active since 2004, they are now back with the latest music release titled Nol.
Already launched since January 23, 2026, this song continues the trio's breath after the last time they released an EP The Golden Sound in 2022.
Aghan Sudrajat (bass), Wisnu Adji (guitar, vocals), and Raveliza (drums) worked on Nol from their point of view in seeing the conditions that occur around. Wisnu Adji explained that the boundary between reasonableness and abnormality is now increasingly blurred, becoming a familiar anomaly in today's social situation.
"Lately, there have been a lot of abnormal things happening. But the series is actually considered something normal by many people, and vice versa," the guitarist explained in a written statement received by VOI.
In this single there is a sweeter nuance compared to a number of their material in the previous EP. Naturally, that approach was born from the collective longing they felt.
"There is a deep desire to listen to songs with a 'light' taste again, like we used to listen to. The idea is as simple as that, and from there we try to create songs that can treat that taste," continued Wisnu.
Monkey To Millionaire has gone through various phases in their musical career. Four albums have been released previously, namely Lantai Merah (2009), Inertia (2013), Tanpa Koma (2017), and Bipolar (2019). After more than two decades standing, they feel there is no reason to stop playing music.
Monkey To Millionaire has no excess ambition for this single. They see Nol as a medium to release their collective energy as well as their sentimental side in releasing works consistently.
"It's really simple. Hopefully this song can reach the listeners and be enjoyed as a complete work," concluded Wisnu Adji.
Monkey To Millionaire will also perform this song for the first time in a solo showcase held on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at Krapela, Row 9, South Jakarta.
