Slavic Prog and Psych Fusion
3 out of 5 stars
T.L.FikJune 22, 2025United States🇺🇸
Blending Slavic Prog and Psych with a touch of accessible pop and folk rock. Certain vocal lines carry a sort of medieval vibe. Then there's the closer of Side A, "Septiņas Skumjas Zvaigznes," which is a whole different beast. It's a foreboding lament that feels like a mix of Magma and a tune that didn't make the cut for some obscure Jesus Rock stage production.

Blending Slavic Prog and Psych with a touch of laid-back pop and folk rock. Certain vocal tunes carry a medieval vibe. The track that wraps up Side A, 'Septiņas Skumjas Zvaigznes,' stands apart. It's a foreboding lament that feels like a fusion of Magma and a tune discarded from a Jesus Rock Musical in the off-off broadway scene.
