Their music highlights the influence of the internet on millennial Indonesians as theyadapt old traditions to digital technologies and new ways of living. Performing in homemade costumes, the duo combinesimpossibly fast tracks with a barrage of throat-shredding vocals. They recently contributed to Björk’s new album ‘Fossora’ and perform regularly at major European electronic music festivals.
