The instrumental rock band Skits is a collection of self-described outcasts of bands such as Free Deserters and Citizens of Ice Cream. In a way, it sort of makes sense in their music – like taking the best bits of their former bands but minus the vocals because who needs that shit. ‘Fall From Grace’, our favourite track from their debut album sounds like an adventure – the kind where Kassim Selamat from ‘Ibu Mertuaku’ is guiding you halfway, and by that we mean he is sampled in the song. The video, featuring an undersea explorer lost at land is the first of three videos and we look forward to the rest of the series. Nadia Rosli

It’s been a good year for local music and 30 barely covers it all. Just as we mentioned last year, there is no science or mathematics to this, these are the songs that we listened to the most throughout the year.
