8 days to go before Up Dharma Down's BI POLAR album launch!


When debut album Fragmented was released in 2006, Up Dharma Down ended up easily as everybody's "it" indie band, appearing on every space of important media mileage - from being featured on an international glossy (Time Magazine) to being chosen by a foodie giant for a consumerist ad (Mc Donald's).

Heck, they were even considered by several critics as the next most important band after The Eraserheads. And the apt mathematical formula: critical approval + commercial success.


After two years drain, this soul/indietronic/rock/fusion band is now ready to prove us that they're no major sophomore slump. Bi polar (referencing a psychiatric disorder, huh?), their follow up album to Fragmented is rumored to be another sonically adventurous record with a more rockist, probably live electronica-kind of approach as evident to the teaser single, "Every first Second." But the question that never ticks out to a million people might just ring in a moment: Is there another "Oo" in the making? I mean, the lovelorn anthem that launched thousands of confused teenagers?


The answer, we'll find out in the coming days.
