Margasatwa has once again releases another bop with their latest release ‘Asmara Botol Kaca’ along with an official music video. This is the first single from their album to be released soon.
The music video starts out strong with an assembly of trumpets, setting the tone of the song to an upbeat rhythm that has a slight comedic bop to it, in a love letter to none other than the devil’s lettuce. The plot splits out into 5 different members going about in their daily activities, and after each of them facing troubles, picks up the phone and calls an unknown number. With each member showcase, it is made apparent to the viewer that the band member is increasingly intoxicated on an unknown substance, seeing as pictures move, and a bird turn to smoke. The group then congregates into the mini-van seen and goes on a presumably flying road trip.
The overall ambience of the music video brings out the mood and the ‘mellowdic’ feel for a road trip soundtrack to vibe with and just taking in the scenery along the drive. Watch the video now and engulf yourself in the visuals of psychedelia.
The band is a locally based half psychedelic, half indie rock ensemble consisting of 5 individuals from 5 different states of Malaysia. Margasatwa is known for its unique conceptual performances like reciting a poem, acting and auctioning their own painting.
