Efek Rumah Kaca is the first studio album by Efek Rumah Kaca. It was released in 2007 by Paviliun Records.

On "Di Udara", they assessed market interest for an ideologically or politically themed song.[1] Cholil, the vocalist, wrote most of the lyrics for this album.[2]

Themes

"Di Udara" is dedicated to Munir, a human rights activist who was killed on a plane. The lyrics of "Efek Rumah Kaca" are about global warming, while "Bukan Lawan Jenis" addresses homosexuality.[2] "Jatuh Cinta Itu Biasa Saja" states that blind love is not good.[3] "Cinta Melulu" criticized the tendencies exhibited by Indonesian love songs, especially infidelity.[4][3] "Melankolia" describes Choilil's mourning upon the death of his father, exhibited through the lyrics "Sadness is beautiful, it slows down the flow of blood".[5] "Belanja Terus Sampai Mati" is an indictment of materialism.[6]

Musical styles

According to a review by Aditya Suharmoko in The Jakarta Post, "Cinta Melulu" and "Jatuh Cinta Itu Biasa Saja" are mellow but do not sound "cheesy",[2] while "Di Udara" has a grim tone.[4] The band called the music mostly introverted and has a slow tempo.[7]
