Fourtwnty, commonly stylized as "Fourtwnty," is an Indonesian indie rock band known for their contemplative lyrics and soothing blends of folk, reggae, and rock influences. The band was formed in 2010, and it initially gained popularity through the indie music scene in Jakarta. Their unique name is derived from the international slang "420," which is associated with cannabis culture, but the band has stated that their spin on the term is meant to represent their free-spirited and easy-going musical ethos rather than a direct endorsement of that lifestyle.

The group's music captures the complexities of life, love, and existential musings through a laid-back, melodic sound that has garnered a dedicated following. Some of their most recent projects include singles such as "Nalar," a reflective track delving into the intricacies of human reasoning, and "Mangu," which continues the band's tradition of infusing emotional depth into their music. The single "Kursi Goyang" offers listeners a rhythmic and catchy experience, highlighting their versatility and knack for storytelling. With their lofi version of "Kusut," they provided an alternative, more intimate take on one of their earlier releases, showcasing their ability to reimagine their own work with a fresh sensibility. Altogether, the band's journey through albums like "Ego & Fungsi Otak" and "Lelaku" encapsulates their evolving musicianship and significant place in the contemporary Indonesian music scene, resonating with fans locally and beyond.
