“cewe rusak is the anticipated single by indonesian artist favelapunk”. dig it! not sure who was anticipating it here, but here it is, and its pretty cool. the instrumentation is right on from the start and while some of the cliche moves stumbles right into the hip hop genre (which is not especially our cup of tea) the whole piece is quite nice. love the styling and the video effects, especially the pacing in the edit. pretty and cool… that makes it pretty cool. favelapunk video directed by cale mason, styled by sarah scaife, edited by lara benwell, and produced by homme australia. by dd
