About this Song
Rooted in the centuries-old storytelling traditions that have been passed between generations across the Philippine archipelago, the sound Multo, Pt. 1 emerges from fitterkarma, a collective of musicians that has long rejected narrow creative constraints to prioritize unfiltered artistic expression, weaving together a dynamic range of influences into a body of work that feels entirely distinct, rooted in their specific context while speaking to universal experiences of alienation, grief, and belonging that resonate far beyond their home country’s borders. Working within the broad umbrella of pop, they twist the form’s familiar structure to hold the quiet and loud complexities of Philippine folklore, the old stories that have long been dismissed as mere myth or children’s tales by mainstream cultural institutions, reclaimed here as a vessel for the raw, unresolvable emotions that too often go unspoken in everyday life.
