Rumah Sakit was an instrumental rock band from San Francisco, California, United States.
[1] The group's debut album was self-titled and was issued in 2000; Allmusic described the album as "a heady mix of mathy time signatures and dense musical passages that craftily, oftentimes dreamily, intersect.
"[2] Rumah Sakit released a contribution to Temporary Residence's Travels in Constants series in 2001,[3] after which time they took a brief hiatus.
[4] Pitchfork Media noted that the album drew from "both jazz-based post-rock and math-rock",[5] and Allmusic likened it to Tortoise, Mogwai, Dinosaur Jr., Explosions in the Sky, and Black Dice.
[7] A live performance with Sweep the Leg Johnny recorded in December 2000 was also released in 2002.
