Wasted Hearts is a great album, and a surprising one too. It blends indie cool with pop infectiousness and delicate understatement with rock and roll excess. It is lyrically astute and the musical construction and sonic craftsmanship seem to hark back to an earlier, more classic age. If there is any justice in the world these songs should be on everyone's lips.
Mojang Supremacy ist ein Rocksong, der weder zu eingängig, noch zu komplex ist, sondern der flüssig läuft und durch Melodien und Harmonien überzeugt ... Mit musikalischem Feingefühl, lässt er einen Song nieder, wie er perfekt in den Soundtrack von Teenie-Streifen wie American Pie gepasst hätte.
Madeleine of Rogues is a stunning and evocative mix of songs that will have a huge impact on unsuspecting listeners ... Pandu Hutomo makes his music accessible while constantly keeping in mind to affirm his trademark originality without compromise.
Like the partners that Pandu loved and lost, each track on the album shines with its own character, detailing the lessons learnt and the scars that are still healing. An ultimately expressive blend of cool indie sounds and emotive pop melodies, Wasted Hearts is lyrically moving and brilliantly crafted.
An epic narrative of love and regret ... South City is an accomplishment in both literary storytelling and Pop song craftsmanship.
The hooks of Insane are wildly strong on their own ... it's the way that he performs this single with such focused intensity, powerful melody & authentic passion combined that gets the absolute most out of it, and proves that Hutomo's got a genuine gift for this whole music thing.
