By releasing her new single ‘Sapphire (Phase I - The Passage Forms a Prelude to Phase II)’ early this September, pop musician Neonomora is ready to forge a new step with her second LP, Waters. Waters follows Neonomora’s (stage name for Ratih Suryahutamy) 2014’s debut LP, Seeds.

Characterized by bubbling synths and theatrical thud (think Florence & The Machine and their brand of sophisti-pop music), Neonomora has been a staple in Indonesian and international music concerts (Side note: she played the Esplanade in March).

The self-produced ‘Sapphire’ feels like a step up in Neonomora’s music; that haunting string motif will haunt you for hours on end. She co-produced Waters with Bam Mastro (of Elephant Kind fame), electronic musician Adhe Arrio and she also had some help from Grammy Award winning engineer/mixer, Fernando Lodeiro. It’s still unclear when Waters will be out (in the press release, it'll be out by the year's end), but we’ll be keeping an eye for it.
