History

2004—2005: Early years and Centralismo debut album

In 2004 and early 2005, Sore contributed two songs in a couple of compilation albums, the first one wasin a compilation album of Jakarta’s indie scene called "JKRT: SKRG" (an abbreviation of "Jakarta, Sekarang" which translates to "Jakarta, Now"). The album was released by Aksara Records. Another one was an original motion picture soundtrack of "Janji Joni".[2] The album was also released by Aksara Records.

SORE finally released their full-length debut album Centralismo in 2005.[3] The album title itself refer to the world "central", which in this case refer to Central Jakarta, where the most band members grew up. The music varied greatly from track to track as each member contributed lead singing and song-writing in this album. Their vintage instrumentation, like the use of vibraphones, mellotron, and horn section is reminiscent of popular music in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

The first album was praised by Time Magazine Asia as "One of Five Asian Albums Worth Buying",[4] and Rolling Stone Indonesia magazine ranked it the 40th in "150 Greatest Indonesian Albums of All Time". The fifth single, "No Fruits for Today", also ranked as one of 150 Greatest Indonesian Albums of All Time.[5]

2005—2008: Ports of Lima

While preparing their materials for their second album, they contributed to four original soundtrack albums: "Berbagi Suami" (Love for Share); "Kala" (Dead Time); the Joko Anwar film Quickie Express; "Perempuan Punya Cerita" (Chants of Lotus), one of which became a hit single, "Pergi Tanpa Pesan", a reworking of an Indonesian classic from the late 1950s.

In April 2008, three years after releasing the debut album, Sore released their second album, Ports of Lima produced by the Aksara Records label. The album was also voted as Best Album of 2008 in the #1st list rank number[6] by Rolling Stone Indonesia magazine.
