Kayu Norwegia by Awkward Pedestrian
Kayu Norwegia is a collection of stories, scenes and paragraphs from Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood that I decided to make songs with.
Most of the lyrics are loyal to the words in the version of the book that was translated by Jay Rubin. I tweaked some of it to fit into the meter of the songs, but that's about as much editorialising as I did.

Awkward Pedestrian is a solo project from Anwar (former guitarist of Malaysian pop-punk outfit Pasca Sini).
It plays a version of pop punk that is a smooshing together of Modern Baseball melodies, Blink-182 chord progressions and My Chemical Romance guitar lines.
Its latest project "Dirty Rectangles" is an exploration of their thoughts and feelings about death.
