Like its predecessors, the duo's fifth album still roots itself in Lithuanian folk forms, but sprouts out spiritedly from that point into unfamiliar landscapes, muddling ancient themes with contemporary philosophies, concepts and technology. Delicate instrumental sequences and ethereal vocals are woven into a rich tapestry of subtle synth work and evocative field recordings. On 'Kouma Lil', Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė and Bert Cools experiment with digital images of the kanklės (a traditional Lithuanian chordophone), and Jurgelevičiūtė's voice, blurring the boundary between the organic and the artificial, while on 'Spindulė, French percussionist Toma Gouband adds percussion from his custom-made sounding stones to Jurgelevičiūtė's gentle words and Cools' surreal, sensuous electronics. 'Vėjula' is an album that reaches into the unknown without loosing its tight grip on the past.

The album is a relaxing and pretty innocuous blend of sounds. But after a while as the mellow starts to flatten out it becomes clear that something is very slightly off, not right.

This is a new age of music, almost cyberpunk, and this album plays on the fusion\/friction of the artificial reality we are living in everyday in 2026. At times I felt like the music was being played in a gorgeous terrarium and I was listening on the outside. The drum recording, which was incredible, was the only tell that that album might have been recorded in a studio.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLots of amazing things to comment on but I want to talk about the auto-tune vocals. Rubio is an amazing vocalist, musician, songwriter etc. who is known for experimentations with vocal technology. Listen to the 'more eaze' albums \"Mari\" or \"The Joker\" for singular expressions of this. There have been endless examples of incredible auto tune aesthetic wackiness going on in the last decades: from auteurs like Rubio, to the trap scene in ATL, to various scenes going on in Africa and so on. Please punish yourself if all you can think of is the Billboard Top 100 worst examples when you hear the word auto-tune (I know everyone does).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet on this album the vocals are different. In a way it is with the strange experimentations of past releases that the auto-tune revealed a new perspective on vocal music. But the sound on this album is completely different. The auto-tune is so clearly set at 'straight auto-tune' that it at times scrambled my brain to wonder if these were the words of a sentient being. Indeed, the vocals sitting in the mix had me tripping falling down into the Uncanny Valley. I loved the sensation. It is the backdrop of instrumentation that makes this effect believable and sends the listener into a proper technological enchantment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI keep listening to the song \"Haze\" it is a gorgeous ballad that somehow made me feel like the Cocteau Twins meets Chopped and Screwed R\u0026amp;B slowjamz.

Luckily, I had already been through a lot when I got this ‘knock in the head’. Sex, drugs, lots of rock and roll and a sunny childhood with beautiful views I look back on with nostalgia. Later on I lost my focus and I only thought about one thing: how to get out of it (that damn problem, my shifted reality, my blind spot, that piece of poisoned apple of forbidden knowledge choking my throat)! But I can't think my way out of it, psychiatrists are just ordinary people, and very heavy pills suppress everything I'll just take my pills) FLASH! You ask me what it takes to create music or art that is meaningful and tells a story. It’s hard when you haven't had enough setbacks, nothing more than maybe a little blues. I'm not saying it was the right path, but at least I've come a long way. And now I'm a fish in a pool. Please understand that this is very disturbing. It's not my waterway. A fish belongs in a river. And my star sign is fish.;))D\u003cbr\u003eSee you soon, EnnO\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fragment of a letter from Enno in 1989, opens with a reference to Jimmy Carl Black's (‘the Indian of the group’) trademark\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e line on The Mothers of Invention's album We're Only in It for the Money. It sums up Enno's life in a nutshell: a happy childhood in the fifties, followed by the sex, drugs and rock \u0026amp; roll of the sixties and a shifted perception of reality in the seventies. It also captures Enno’s sense of humour and self-mockery. Enno loved the music, humour and weirdness of the early Mothers, although he mostly favoured British bands like The Pretty Things, The Who, Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience in the sixties. From his early childhood Enno was a loner, a sensitive dreamer, often drifting off into his own world, using music as his main language and a way of getting in touch with his inner feelings and connecting with others. During the turbulent late sixties, psychedelics permanently ripped out the gates to a parallel universe, from which he couldn’t escape since. It left him isolated, living in a small room in his mother’s apartment in the eighties. This became his home studio where he created the music you can experience on this album. All tracks were recorded here on a four-track Tascam 244 Portastudio cassette recorder. Enno's music blends elements of fifties instrumental guitar, \u0026amp; Indorock\u0026amp; sixties beat, seventies early ambient, ‘western movie’ tunes and Erik Satie into deeply personal pieces which echo a heartfelt mix of nostalgia, romanticism, fear, emptiness, loneliness, love and hope.\u003cbr\u003eEnno’s unique music comes straight from his tormented soul. He doesn’t attempt to copy any trend or style or to please any particular audience. Enno mixes his musical influences and preferences into a unique, personal blend of melodic and romantic guitar lines, nostalgic\u003cbr\u003epiano pieces and dreamy, comforting, melancholic but also disturbing and alienating soundscapes. On this album you can hear all of the aforementioned elements of Enno’s music and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnno hardly ever thought of song titles unless he was forced to do so for a specific release. His music was a language in itself, a means to communicate emotions without words. For this album Hessel Veldman had to think up most of the song titles, which are a reflection of his personal experience and interpretation of the songs. I hope the music touches your soul as it did Hessel’s and mine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ewritten, by Bert Zoetemeyer, April 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Seasonal Work","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43974843236486,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/3874\/2150\/files\/a0138905356_10.jpg?v=1778440548"},{"product_id":"various-artists-aftermath-and-transitions-traces-of-the-ukrainian-underground-in-cologne-1994-1996","title":"Various Artists - Aftermath and Transitions: Traces Of The Ukrainian Underground in Cologne (1994-1996)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarious Artists\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAftermath and Transitions: Traces Of The Ukrainian Underground in Cologne (1994-1996)\u003cbr\u003eStroom\u003cbr\u003eUkraine\/Germany\/Belgium, 2026\u003cbr\u003eLP\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn absolutely spellbinding compilation capturing a magical Ukraine —\u0026gt; Cologne creative pipeline from the late ‘80s to the early ‘90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A side is devoted to various collaborations featuring the incredible vocalist and keyboard player Svitlana Nianio, whose singular work both solo and as a member of Cukor Bila Smert has been enjoying a deserved renaissance of late.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B side surfaces the work of Solar, a collaboration between singer and keyboard player Soloveyka of Kharkiv and composer Wolfram Burgtorf.
