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.

Son of Sam
The Sigit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"out to kill", commands the father
Blood is what he needs
Down by the rivers of wine
(my heart hurts sonny boy)
Live there the people of divine
Look out the attic windows
Watch the world unsaved"
Down by the rivers of wine
(my heart hurts sonny boy)
Live there the people of divine
The Sigit's song "Son of Sam" is an intense and dark composition that tells a story about a man who is influenced by his father to commit murders. The opening lyrics "I'm the son of Sam", immediately indicate that the man is the son of famous serial killer David Berkowitz, who was known as "Son of Sam" after his killing spree in the 1970s. By saying "out to kill", the father commands his son to conduct murders, and the son complies, as he says "blood is what he needs". The lyrics imply that the young man is psychologically damaged, as he is willing to continue his father’s legacy by committing heinous crimes.
In the second verse, the man describes himself as a "little brat" who is different from others and has a twisted perspective of the world. He says he watches the world unsaved from the window of the attic. This may indicate that he feels isolated from society and has a bleak worldview shaped by his traumatic background. The chorus line "Down by the rivers of wine, my heart hurts sonny boy, live there the people of divine" may refer to an ironic situation where the good people who live by the river are unaware of the evil lurking amongst them. The contrast between the beautiful surroundings and the horrific reality of the murders adds an eerie layer to the lyrics.
