Efek Rumah Kaca (English: Greenhouse Effect) is an Indonesian indie rock band, formed in 2001.
[6] Efek Rumah Kaca used a more 'crowded formation' when they were playing at a festival in June 2012, thus the birth of a new project, called "Pandai Besi".
A tight concert schedule and Adrian's health condition hampered the band on the completion of Efek Rumah Kaca's third album.
They invited four musician friends who were deliberately selected for their different backgrounds and musical tastes to ‘recycle’ Efek Rumah Kaca's songs.
In March 2013, Pandai Besi – with more members to the group – recorded the re-arranged songs at Lokananta, Surakarta, through crowdfunding method by the fans.
Perhaps the best thing to be said about Pandai Besi is that the band sounds like it exists as its own entity, without the baggage of its main, more famous, persona.
The songs make their original versions feel like demos.."[7] After Efek Rumah Kaca's hiatus, On July 10, 2015, the band released a new single titled "Pasar Bisa Diciptakan" (English: Markets Can Be Created),[8] a fragment of the song "Biru" (English: Blue) which was based on making a further elaboration of "Cinta Melulu", restlessness the band felt on the process of making art and its position in the market/industry.
[9] On September 18, Efek Rumah Kaca held a concert titled "Pasar Bisa Dikonserkan" (English: Markets Can Be Concerted) in Balai Sartika, Bandung,[10] but it drew a lot of disappointment from the crowd due to technical difficulties.
The idea for "Tiada" came from their conversation with a friend who later died before the song was finished, while "Ada" came from the happiness of the birth of their children.
