The Adams is an Indonesian indie rock band formed in 2002. The band currently consists of Saleh Husein, Ario Hendarwan, and Gigih Suryo Prayogo.
History[edit]
The band was formed by Saleh Husein, Ario Hendarwan, Bawono "Beni" Adhiantoro, and Bimo Dwipoalam during their studies at the Jakarta Institute of Arts in 2002.[1] In 2004, they contributed a track "Mosque of Love" to a compilation album, JKT:SKRG initiated by independent record label Aksara Records.[2] Their appearance on the album caught the attention of film producer Nia Dinata, who invited them to work on the soundtrack of Janji Joni, Joko Anwar's directorial debut film.[3] The band contributed two tracks to the soundtrack, "Konservatif" and "Waiting".[4]
Their self-titled debut album was released on 15 June 2005 under Aksara Records, featuring "Konservatif" and "Waiting". The former was ranked 136th on the list of "The 150 Greatest Indonesian Songs of All Time", compiled by Rolling Stone Indonesia.[5] In 2006, they released their sophomore album titled V2.05, featuring singles "Halo Beni" and "Hanya Kau". The album was ranked 112th by Rolling Stone Indonesia on the list of "The 150 Greatest Indonesian Albums of All Time".[6] The group released an extended play in 2017 titled ß Release, consisting of b-sides and a cover of Naif's "Jikalau", which previously appeared on a 2007 tribute album called Mesin Waktu: Teman-Teman Menyanyikan Lagu Naif.[7]
The Adams returned with new material after twelve years with the release of the single "Pelantur" on 2018 Record Store Day.[8] On 15 March 2019, the group independently released their third studio album Agterplaas.[9] In an interview with Pophariini, Saleh Husein revealed that Agterplaas was "The Adams' most difficult album".[10] A 45-minute documentary film about the making of the album titled Masa-Masa: Sebuah Dokumenter Pembuatan Agterplaas, directed by Cakti Prawirabishma, was released alongside the album's box set.[11]
In 2024, it was announced that Pandu Fathoni and Ghina Salsabila would depart the band.[12]
