About
The Panturas is an Indonesian surf rock band originating from Jatinangor, a region notably far from any oceanic influence, yet remarkably capturing the spirit of beach-inspired music. Formed in 2016, the group comprises Abyan (vocals, guitar), Rizal (guitar), Bagus Patria (bass), and Surya (drums). Their sound is a lively blend of surf rock, Indorock, and Indonesian indie, drawing inspiration from icons like The Ventures and Dick Dale, as well as local legends such as Eka Sapta. The Panturas made waves with their debut single "Fisherman’s Slut" and have continued to charm audiences with releases like Mabuk Laut and Ombak Banyu Asmara.
How to Sound Like The Panturas
To emulate The Panturas' vibrant and nostalgic sound, musicians should focus on achieving a bright, reverb-drenched guitar tone reminiscent of classic surf rock. This often involves using single-coil pickups and spring reverb effects to create a bright, twangy sound that cuts through the mix. Analog delay pedals can add depth and a vintage feel, while clean tube amps will provide the warm, rounded tone characteristic of their music. The rhythm section should aim for a dynamic and punchy bass line, paired with crisp, energetic drumming that propels the music forward. The overall production should maintain an upbeat, buoyant vibe, capturing the essence of sunlit beaches and ocean waves even from a landlocked origin.
