The latest album “2020” released in 2021 by White Shoes & The Couples Company, an indie pop band representing Jakarta, Indonesia, is now available for streaming.
White Shoes & The Couples Company is a band that is highly regarded not only in the Indonesian indie scene but also by indie fans around the world. Their music is based on 70’s disco pop and mixes a wide variety of genres, just like Indonesian culture, but they develop modern indie pop with their own unique sense and balance. Last year, they also attracted attention by holding their first tour of Japan.
White Shoes & The Couples Company mainly releases on analog, and “2020”, released last year on LP, was one of the most difficult to obtain works. It is a White Shoes-esque soundtrack created by imagining a fictional movie scene, and is influenced by Indonesian movie soundtracks from the 1970s and classic jazz from the 1930s, featuring good old string arrangements and retro synth disco sounds.
