Ferns



Ferns is an indiepop band that was cultivated a score of years ago in a patch of fertile soil in suburban Kuala Lumpur. Through natural selection, a little loving care and lots of sunlight, the band evolved into a lean & green pop-song-writing machine. Their first-ever debut album, On Botany (2007) made nice enough noises to earn top spots on a number local and foreign publications' year-end Best Ofs. Ferns' 2nd album - Fairweather Friends - will be released in December 2011. ~WHAT THEY SAY~ One of Rolling Stone's Top 25 Best Bands on Myspace On Botany No.1 on Peekaboo's Top 11 Albums Of 2007 list On Botany No.9 on Pop 'n' Cherries' Best Albums 2007 list ...you'll get exactly what makes Ferns a great, not just simply good, band. - Jakarta Post, 17/12/2007 ...this could be one of the best twee act release this year from South East Asia.. - On Botany album review (8.2/10 rating) ...definitely one of the best unrecognized releases so far this year; a sleeper hit for anyone that really digs pop music. - Green Clothes Music, 15/4/2007 ...possibly the most consistent indie pop gem of the last decade. - One of the Top 20 Best Albums on Thinklist 2006: Music (www.think.com.my) ...songs verdant with beauty and grace...” - On Botany Think album review (8/10 rating) ...if they were swedish, everyone in the indiepop world would love them already” - On Botany album review (4/5 rating) - One Chord To Another (www.onechord.net) - “On Botany, a twee masterpiece ...filled with lo-fi quirk and shimmering melodies.” “...captures the sound of young broken hearts...strong songwriting” - On Botany album review (4/5 stars) “Astonishing debut…The best Malaysian album of the year” - On Botany album review (4.5/5 stars), Junk magazine, Malaysia Read more on Last.fm.
