Formed in the early 2000′s, a time when artists like Limp Bizkit and Britney Spears were dominating airwaves, The SIGIT wondered how their rock-based tendencies and reverence for multiple styles would be received by audiences. To find out, they began to send out invitations to a weekly garage gig, which featured beer, barbeque, and The SIGIT’s engaging music. The audience’s reaction was extremely positive, and the four-piece realized they would not be forced to confine to radio conventions to gain listeners. Their authentic love for good old rock ‘n’ roll would be more than enough.
In response to the popular garage gigs, The SIGIT released their debut EP in late 2004. Esteemed publications and labels like FFWD Records came calling, providing The SIGIT opportunities to perform outside their garage. With high-energy and passionate performances, their profile began to rise rapidly through live shows, setting the stage for The SIGIT’s 2007 full-length debut, Visible Idea of Perfection. The album received glowing reviews, especially from Australian publications like Faster Louder. This led to The SIGIT’s first international gigs, when they toured Australia for Visible Idea of Perfection. By 2009, The SIGIT were performing at US festivals like SXSW. That June, they released a collection of ten diverse songs entitled Hertz Dyslexia, which included a DVD of live footage and music videos. To celebrate the release, The SIGIT held a solo concert in Bandung, which was attended by a sold-out audience of over 3500 fans. A national tour would follow, and The SIGIT’s international presence would increase significantly.
The SIGIT recently released their second full-length album, Detourn. The title is a pun on the word “detournement”, a variation on a previous media work where the newly created one has a meaning that is antagonist to the original. The band started writing Detourn in 2009, and finally took to the studio in late 2011. Recording and mixing ended in January, and Detourn was released on March 16th via FFWD Records. Detourn has already received significant acclaim. Rolling Stone Indonesia gave the album 4 out 5 stars, praising Detourn for its mixture of anthemic rockers and intricately precise orchestration. Seven years between full-lengths, it was clear that The SIGIT knew how to relieve the anticipation.

Ring of Fire
The Sigit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A golden empire out from the sea.
Paid for the pirates, bay for the thieves.
In every disaster there's a faulter to seek.
Does it matter? Does it matter?
It's only matters for a while.
Does it matter?
This land could bleed.
In every disaster there's a faulter to seek.
People meander, wait to retreat.
People forsaken of what they believe.
Does it matter? Does it matter?
It's only mattes for a while.
Does it matter?
Feel like we're fixing to die.
Only loneliness keeps us alive.
No shoulder left to cry.
There's a moment we can't survive
Does it matter? Doesn't matter.
The lyrics to The Sigit's song Ring of Fire explore the themes of desire, power, and the inevitable destruction that comes with it. The singer seems to have a strong desire for power and wealth, symbolized by a "golden empire out from the sea." The cost of achieving this dream seems high, as it involves dealings with pirates and thieves. The singer recognizes that every disaster has a fault to be found, and yet questions whether it truly matters. This ambivalence towards fault-finding suggests a nihilistic outlook on life, where everything ultimately fades away.
The chorus repeats the question "Does it matter?" in a somewhat resigned tone. This suggests that while the singer acknowledges the inevitability of destruction and the flaws in the pursuit of power, it is ultimately futile to dwell on it for too long. The second verse provides a bleak description of the state of the world, with people "meandering" and "forsaken" in their beliefs. The phrase "fixing to die" suggests a fatalistic resignation, as if death is the eventual fate of everyone.
Overall, Ring of Fire presents a cynical and nihilistic worldview, where power and wealth are fleeting and ultimately meaningless.
