Discover Tropical Desert, the boundary-pushing debut album from BABON, a psychedelic instrumental band from Indonesia that’s turning heads across the globe. Blending traditional Indonesian styles like Keroncong and Dangdut with far-reaching influences—from Middle Eastern grooves and Latin rhythms to Spaghetti Western flair and Afro-funk—BABON crafts a bold, cinematic sound they call “Tropical Desert” music. Released by London’s Batov Records, this record follows their acclaimed singles “Desert Rose” and “TNT,” and arrives with nearly sold-out early pressings. Beyond the music, BABON channels their passion for the environment into rich, instrumental storytelling, with plans to release a live session paired with sweeping visuals of Indonesia’s natural beauty.
