About lightcraft
Melding together lyrics brimming with hopefulness and positivity with a unique arena-ready anthemic sound, lightcraft exist to shine a light of hope on the world through every note and melody that they produce. Based in Jakarta, Indonesia, anthemic-indie rock unit lightcraft first got together in the year 2005 when original members Imam Surataruna, Fari Febrian, and Enrico Prabowo were studying at the same university in Selangor, Malaysia. Currently a quintet with drummer Yopi Santosa and bassist Muhammad Rizky – both joined the band in 2012 and 2020 respectively – lightcraft take on themes surrounding humanity and global phenomena while combining to become a united symbol of diversity represented by the five different individuals that make lightcraft as a solid and dynamic entity. lightcraft have several releases under their belt, including debut EP “The Modern Seasons” (2006), debut album “Losing Northern Lights” (2008), sophomore album “Colours of Joy” (2014), second EP “Another Life”, and third full album “Us Is All” (2019). Their latest single, “Run Away”, was released by US-based label group Circulate Music on September 11, 2020 and is a collaboration with Singaporean producer DSML. Critically acclaimed both domestically and abroad, lightcraft have displayed their knack for marrying their distinct, hook-filled sound with an infectious and powerful live performance. This mighty combination has enabled them to mesmerise audiences into a higher state of consciousness and taken them across the globe, where they have performed at major international festivals and on renowned stages in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Canada, the USA, Russia, China, Mongolia, and the UK. Prestigious festivals that they have graced with their presence include SXSW, Liverpool Sound City, V-Rox, Taihu Midi Festival, MUSEXPO, Monsoon Music Festival, Big Mountain Music Festival, Bangkok Music City, We The Fest, Canadian Music Week, Indie Week Canada, Music Matters Live, Zandari Festa, Baybeats Music Festival, B Festival, Playtime Festival, and Sakurazaka Asylum, among others. As a band that holds dear the fate of humanity, the preservation of the environment, and the world’s future, lightcraft were chosen to become ambassadors for non-profit organisation Bersih Nyok!, while also contributing their efforts to The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation and the Sahabat Anak Foundation. The musical career of lightcraft is about creating an upward momentum to go the distance; to break boundaries, and to carve a meaningful journey in life. Keep dreaming of the bees and the butterflies. FFO: Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Sigur Rós, Temper Trap, Kodaline, The 1975, Editors, Mew, Band Of Horses, The Killers, among others.
