about

As the album title hints, ‘SZ’ is particularly frail. Weighty with heaviness and melancholy, songs come with poetic, but sharp exclamation mark. It is ultimately about our inner lives and thoughts, our internal musical worlds which connect, intertwine, counterpoint or oppose along the lines of its joint borders.

‘SZ’ is defined by an embrace of the universal archetypes of symbols, genres and styles. It is built by cacophonous layers of noise and uneven tunings, reflecting each line in different distorted mirror. Sometimes if feels like a pseudo heterophony, it occurs intuitively while flowing with brutal intensity, pushing the borders with maximum strength and suddenly exploding in chaos of frequencies. That makes for a dense, and at the times oddly sound of matching folk-inspired fragments of melody and words with more abstract free improvisation.

We would like to dedicate this release to the healing and recovery of all those who have difficulty distinguishing between what is real and what is imaginary; may be unresponsive or withdrawn; and may have difficulty expressing normal emotions in social situation.
(text by Tijana Stanković)

Dedicated to all those who are affected with schizophrenia.
