Heartstrings

**Heartstrings** is an indie pop duo hailing from Jakarta, Indonesia, known for their dreamy blend of nostalgic synths and contemporary beats. Formed in 2018, the pair quickly carved out a space in Southeast Asia’s music scene with their 2019 breakout EP *Skate or Die* (later remastered in 2021), which captures their signature mix of youthful energy and introspective lyrics. Tracks like “Luka” and “Pergi” showcase their knack for weaving heartfelt Indonesian storytelling into globally resonant pop melodies, while “The Sun, Moon and Stars” highlights their ethereal, genre-blurring production. With a DIY ethos and a flair for collaborating with local visual artists on retro-inspired visuals, Heartstrings continues to charm listeners who crave both emotional depth and danceable vibes.
