Trapped Animal Records are proud to present for the first time on vinyl, Stars and Rabbit's 2020 smasher 'Rainbow Aisle'.

Remastered at Metropolis to lacquer and cut to 300 Purple Stripe 180GSM 12"s this is a very special package from Indonesian household names, Stars and Rabbit! // Press quotes : Alternative Fruit, UK - This fun and catchy album is laid back to back with classic numbers which each have a soul of their own.

A friendly rock 'n' roll delivery mixed with classical melodies and homely closeness allows us to hear this band in person from wherever we happen to be.

// Analogue Trash, UK - Reviewed (Little Mischievous) There's a joy and innocence at the heart of Little Mischievous that is delightful and infectious, in large part down to the fun, rollercoaster vocals of Elda Suryani.

Sounding like a cross between Nina Persson and Björk, her livewire performance is the perfect foil for Didit Saad's equally electric lead guitar melody and the briskly bouncing arrangement.

// Reviewed Naked King - They make up the central core of the song, as soft synths and lush strings wash in and out of perception, combining to confect a sweet sense of serenity.

Though contemplative, Naked King looks outward and also seeks to engage the listener: the children's choir and assertive guitar solo bringing the song to a euphoric crescendo, with Elda Suryani's performance directing the song to ever greater heights.

// Antenna, Japan - Stars and Rabbit were captivated by a variety of songs that sublimated 90s introspective alternative rock, mainly in Europe, such as Sigur Rós, Radiohead and Portishead.

On one occasion, listeners like "Little Mischievous" show light guitar pops that can sing a long, and "Attic No.7" shows a jazzy, dark side like a trip hop.

// Atwood Magazine, UK - Elda Suryani and Didit Saad make up the group and both employ signature rhythms and harmonies onto each song of theirs, and "Little Mischievous" is no exception with its slick guitar riffs and tantalizing vocal performance.

// Beehive Candy, UK - Their new LP, Rainbow Aisle, a full spectrum of colors, showcasing their knack for groovy electro rock as well as intimate acoustic confessions.

// Big Takeover, US - Wow, such a vocally and lyrically intriguing number! Yet again, there's the '90s alt-rock feeling, but the vocals are yes, mischievously impish; a teeny-tiny bit like SOAK vocally, but with a grainier, deeper timbre.
