ประวัติศิลปิน
Homogenic (also known and stylized as HMGNC) was formed in Bandung, Indonesia in 2002 by Dina Dellyana (synths, programming), Risa Saraswati (vocals) and Grahadea Kusuf (synths, programming). The name itself was inspired by their highschool hero; the world's foremost Icelandic musician Björk, without trying to resemble her style or music. Signing with FFWD Records in 2004, through debut album Epic Symphony they formulized a mixture of trip-hop and downbeat electronica with angelic vocals in the midst of Indonesia's rising electronic dance music scene and rave acts. In 2006, Homogenic continued their musical exploration on Echoes of The Universe, in which the dark ambience of their previous work became lighter, marking the beginning of an electronic pop influence in their music. Along their musical journey, "Kekal", "Mindless", "Unfolding Sympathy" and other songs from Homogenic's two albums were featured on the original soundtrack of the indie movie Cin(T)a. This movie marked the beginning of a fruitful collaboration between Homogenic and writer/director Sammaria Simanjuntak which would continue to other projects, and the movie's promotional roadshow across the UK enabled Homogenic to perform live in London, Birmingham, Newcastle and Manchester. After a long hiatus in which some internal issues were dealt with, in 2010 Homogenic finally reemerged with Amandia Syachridar replacing Risa Saraswati as lead vocalist, as well as shifting to a full-band format. These dramatic changes brought new color to their music, leading to the creation of sweet electronic tunes with mass appeal without losing its edges. Released by FFWD Records in 2010, Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom was a transitional process for Homogenic, in which their eclecticism came to life in a hail of lush melodies, playful instruments and stuttering beats. In 2012, Homogenic once again collaborated with Sammaria Simanjuntak on the film Demi Ucok, for which they contributed its music score, along with original songs and reimaginings of older material that would be released by UNKL347 as the album Let's Talk. "Get Up and Go", the upbeat, disco-ish first single on this album was also featured along with new music from other prominent Indonesian indie acts on Organic Records' compilation Radio Killed the TV Star. Second single "Takkan Berhenti Disini", a liquid drum 'n bass-inspired slow jam, gained rave responses from Indonesian junglist and drum 'n bass scenes. Despite its Indonesian lyrics, the song managed to sweep three main awards at the Voice Independent Music Awards (VIMA) 2013, landing the Best Electronic Dance Song, Best Electro Dance Act dan Thank You for Existing Awards. To date, they have shared stages alongside with the biggest names in Indonesian music as well as international acts such as Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Club 8, The Radio Dept, The Whitest Boy Alive, Jens Lekman, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Naughty by Nature, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and Telefon Tel Aviv at major festivals including Java Soulnation, Java Soundsfair, WeTheFest and Synchronize Fest, and Esplanade's Mosaic Music Festival and Baybeats Festival in Singapore. And now Homogenic return with ‘HMGNC’, an eponymous fifth album. This will mark a sign of renewal, change of directions, or even a flashback to their early palette as Homogenic marking their change of direction in this album, transitioning from a warm-organic electronica to a colder, darker mood with prominent bass music influences.
