Lana, the band from Bogor, would be totally unknown to me, if not for my interview with Paranoid Episodic, where I got the recommendation to check those guys out. And you know it’s good to follow good recommendations. First, although in the aforementioned interview they were labeled a “pop band”, it’s not exactly true. But all in its due course. “Berkelana”, the band’s EP from 2020, contains 4 songs in almost 17 minutes of total…
