lightcraft

lightcraft harbours the hopes and dreams of four men from Jakarta, Indonesia – the embodiment of their pluckiness and determination. Uniquely narrating the energy and spirit of humanity, their trademark arena-ready anthemic indie-rock sound feature a heightened sense of melodrama that can be heard from their lyrics and felt from each and every note that they produce; all combining to become a united symbol of diversity represented by the four different individuals that make up lightcraft as a solid and resilient entity. Simple humanist themes such as the emotional bond of friendship, life-changing moments and global phenomena such as worldwide immigration are candidly described throughout their music – an achievement unto itself accomplished through inspiring sheer dedication. First formed in 2005 when original members Imam, Fari, and Enrico were still university students in Malaysia, they have a number of releases under their belt. Their very first release was an EP titled “The Modern Seasons” that was launched in 2006. Debut album “Losing Northern Lights” was unveiled in 2008, followed by their sophomore full-length effort “Colours Of Joy” in 2014. In 2015, “Love Songs & Lullabies” – a cassette featuring songs from their first three releases – was released by Nanaba Records. A split mini CD with New Jersey-based indie-rock band Wyland called “Kindred Spirits” was launched in September 2016. In November 2016, they unleashed their second EP “Another Life”. lightcraft have performed in festivals and on stages across the globe in their attempts to spread their light of hope, including in their home country Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Canada, the USA, Russia, Mongolia, and the UK, encompassing prestigious festivals such as SXSW, Liverpool Sound City, V-Rox, We The Fest, Canadian Music Week, Indie Week Canada, Saarang, Music Matters Live, Zandari Festa, Baybeats Music Festival, B Festival, Playtime Festival, and Taichung International Cuisines Festival, among others. lightcraft have also been chosen to become ambassadors for non-profit organisation Bersih Nyok! and have also contributed their efforts to The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, where they are able to channel their worries and concerns towards the environment by going hands-on as they aim to make a change for the better. At the moment, the band are preparing for the release of their third album “Us Is All”, which they hope could project a different and more mature side to lightcraft compared to their previous output. Produced by Firzi O (Matajiwa, Sentimental Moods, Zeke And The Popo) at Studio Masak Suara in Jakarta, it is scheduled to be unveiled in September 2018 and is set to provide an experience unlike any other for listeners. The album will feature collaborations with both local and international names on a number of songs, while its overall design has also involved local talents including a typographer, a creative director, and a painter. Its first single “Walk On Fire” was released across all digital platforms on April 27, 2018. The musical career of lightcraft is all about creating a momentum to go the distance; to break boundaries and to carve a meaningful life journey. Keep dreaming of the bees and the butterflies.
