Championing Up Dharma Down
Talk about indie music and the usual suspects almost always come from Canada, the US, the UK and Europe. Unfortunately, Asia never gets the attention it deserves. The region has some of the freshest and most innovative bands that are just waiting for a bigger audience to discover them.
Take for example the Philippines’ Up Dharma Down. This quartet has, to my mind, singlehandedly elevated indie music in the Philippines. They play a kind of dreampop/jazz/triphop hybrid that is so accomplished, so sophisticated you will almost cry from frustration because they really deserve to be heard by a far bigger audience than the lucky mofos in Manila.
The band has one of the tightest sounds I have ever heard from ANY band. And that includes any single one of the bands in the US or the UK. It is mature, deep, many layered and highly nuanced. Every single song from the debut Fragmented is like a warm wash of sounds that envelop you, tickling your senses and leaving you wanting just a little more…
If you guys want to discover for yourselves what I’m talking about just make a Google search on Up Dharma Down because a number of sites have cropped up that feature some of their songs. Prepare to be amazed.
