13 minutes, eight song snippets, one road from Jakarta to Yogyakarta. Instead of dropping singles one by one to tease their new album, no na condensed the entire "island girl" into a single short film, letting listeners flip through it like a '90s mixtape — hearing pieces of the whole journey in one sitting.
The short film, titled "speaker freaker (the long song)," features snippets of eight songs, including the already-released "rollerblade" and "work." It was shot across Indonesia's capital Jakarta and the ancient city of Yogyakarta, with visuals spanning coastlines and bustling city streets. The music itself carries a distinctly millennial flavor, with Detroit-style ghettotech beats layered under traditional Indonesian gamelan percussion — the clearest sonic coordinates we've gotten from the album so far.
"'speaker freaker (the long song)' is our homage to '90s and early 2000s mixtape culture," no na told The FADER via email. "We loved the idea of taking people through the different songs on 'island girl' like they're listening to a mixtape, giving them a taste before the album officially drops."
