Reality Club are coming back with new single, entitled “I Don’t Wanna Hate The World.”
Set to be released on October 31, 2025 (Friday), the upcoming new song is part of sonic/panic vol.3 — a compilation of album of original songs by The Indonesian Climate Communications, Arts, and Music Lab (IKLIM) that focuses on the climate crisis. “This song carries a message about the climate crisis, one that we hope will move you the same way it moved us while creating it,” the Indonesian indie pop band states in their announcement.
Established in 2023, IKLIM and its fellow climate advocacy collective Music Declares Emergency (MDE) Indonesia are initiatives that focus on championing the discussion of the climate crisis and encouraging people to take action through music. In IKLIM’s first year, they introduced the first sonic/panic compilation album, which saw the participation of 13 Indonesian artists who attended a music and climate workshop by IKLIM.
For sonic/panic vol.3, Reality Club’s “I Don’t Wanna Hate The World” is the 11th single to be released from the record. It follows Sukatani’s “Kebangkitan,” Kunto Aji’s “Manusia Terakhir Di Bumi,” MANJA’s “Goliath Falling,” The Brandals’ “Hukum Rimba,” The Melting Minds’ “In A Land,” SCALLER’s “Sacred Soil,” Usman and The Blackstones’ “Rain,” Egi Virgiawan’s “Titipan Ibu,” Chicco Jerikho and Gede Robi’s “Aku, Kopi, dan Bumi,” and Bunyi Waktu Luang’s “Saudara Purba.”
