Navicula’s music is unmistakably naked, what you see and hear is literally what you get. There are no tricks, no elusive samples whatsoever. It’s raw rock, served fresh speeding with genuine attitude.Teguh Wicaksono
Grunge powerhouse Navicula has come from a long way before standing where they are today. A long bumpy and juicy way that involves a motorbike expedition through a palm oil killing fields in Borneo, campaign to support the unmerciful anti-graft agency, collaboration with Indonesian rock myths God Bless, campaign against Bali land reclamations and an album produced by fucking Alain Johannes, recorded in Record Plant studio Hollywood. They are indeed, road-tested.
For Navicula, it has been 18 strong years of exclamating their faith via music. While we are accustomed to the self-alienating, pessimist, and cloistered lyrics in most grunge songs, they convert the rage into shrilling, in your face, positive messages. And this is not just some bullshit pretentious love your country lyric that you heard in the radio and morning shows.There are few bands in Indonesia that religiously practice what they said in their songs, and this green grunge gentlemen is definitely one of them.
Adapun pada sesi kesepuluh ini, pihak Sounds From The Corner berkesempatan merekam beberapa single lagu terbaik dari Navicula mulai dari “Refuse to Forget”, “Everyone Goes to Heaven”, “Bubur Kayu”, hingga “Aku Bukan Mesin”. Tanpa basa-basi lebih lama lagi, berikut cuplikan lengkap dari sesi Live Session yang berlangsung di Studio Syaelendra.
