In a shimmering constellation of chiming guitars and sun-dappled melodies, Armstrong's "HandiCrafts" flirts with pop perfection through lo-fi emotional immediacy, while The Slow Summits channel pure 80s/90s Anglophile jangle with Swedish precision. Crayon Cats inject grit into Indonesia's indie-pop waters, as Field Hospitals deliver testosterone-fueled shamble pop with Waterboys-esque passion. Hamlet's "Light Under Repair" marries college rock energy with plaintive introspection, while The Interpretation Cultures craft gloriously sweet, hazy indie-pop from Indonesia's heartland.

It Rings A Bell
"Perhaps it is the languid alt country jangle-pop inflected sound that immediately resonates or just that his music is an instant reminder of the college rock / jangle-pop halcyon days of the late 80's and early 90s,"

The Interpretation of Indiepop Cultures (EP)
"Glorious anglophile jangly indie-pop from the fertile indie-pop heartland of Indonesia"

HandiCrafts
"Too lo-fi and steeped in emotional immediacy to be sophisti-pop and yet too 'considered' to disregard such inferences, Armstrong's song writing and ability to resonate each note means this Handicrafts double CD/album he regularly flirts with pop perfection."
