about

Hailing from Manila in the Philippines, The Buildings are among the rising stars of the current generation of Southeast Asian indie, with their intelligent, melodic songwriting that draws on influences from the 1990s but uses them to express the joys and anxieties of contemporary life.

The band made an impact on their local scene with their fuzz-pop debut "Cell-o-phane", now twice sold-out in both its original release and cassette re-release from Singapore label Middle Class cigars.

Drawing on influences from 1990s alternative rock and noise-pop including Pavement, Wilco, Silver Jews and Yo La Tengo, The Buildings’ music that tries to make sense of the confusion and chaos of the modern world in a way that is melodic, melancholy, raucous and joyous. Largely recorded during the pandemic lockdown conditions of 2020 and early 2021, this new album sees the band maturing and developing their skills, both in the studio in their songwriting, without letting go of the playfulness that characterised their cult debut.

The band's long-awaited album was definitely worth the wait. A collection of tracks ingeniously, creatively, and thoughtfully created by the band that will make you love them even more than you already do, even if it sounds impossible. The songs all show sincerity and wit that a regular group of people would not just be able to display through music. Cheers to this amazing band! 🥂 💕 trisello
