‘Patlang’ kicks the album off with a lovely little track, clocking up just over three minutes and taking us from a pretty simple rock track in some places through some psychedelic effects before landing back in the land of indie. It’s an opening song that sets the tone for the upcoming seven tracks and twenty-three or so minutes pretty perfectly. If you’re not in by this point you may as well give up and leave.

A rousing rock album, Makati is the latest from The Beat Logs. Their alt-rock and power-pop inclinations enamor throughout, furthering its ’90s nostalgia with contributions from some talented musicians who got their start in that era. Kellii Scott of Failure features on drums, and Jordon Zadorozny of Blinker the Star lends bass and piano on all tracks. Primarily featuring lyrics in Filipino, the album’s range proves compelling — from the hazy acoustic-laden psychedelic nature of “Giliw Ko” to the chugging rock ardency of the opening “Patlang.”
