Naif Essentials

With a strong fixation on the sonic aesthetics of the '70s, Jakarta's Naif back up their nostalgia with rich harmonies and psychedelic flourishes. Though their tongues may be lodged firmly in cheek, that doesn't discount their downright compelling sound. After facing a string of early rejections, the band persisted and was eventually embraced by the public, which resulted in being included on Rolling Stone Indonesia's 2009 list of the best Indonesian songs of all time. This playlist lets you see the world through their oversized, rose-tinted glasses.
