Lair is a music project from Jatiwangi, West Java, formed early in 2018. Lair music is inspired by classical tarling music which is explored in a typical pantura style, ‘raw’ and as it is. The songs on the debut album Lair began with daily observations in large places and lived by the personnel, Jatiwangi to Cirebon and Indramayu. Each song departs from the experience of living in the pantura region; there are stories of fishermen sailing in the northern sea, chaotic roads on the pantura lane told by drivers between cities, anger from the political situation of village head elections, there is also optimism among the working class. A number of songs raised a figure who became a role model and also a legend in music and literature. In this broad range of themes, the common thread that connects messages in Lair’s songs is anxiety and questions to oneself.
