Unlike some other Nordic artists, she has never been satisfied with expressing melancholy alone. Daring to experiment with instrumentation and verve, her debut album Little Things was a calm yet playful work of real substance given a human touch through the use of found sounds (bike wheels, wine glasses, raindrops etc.). Her second, Rykestrasse 68, showed more of a rock drive with uneasy, slightly schizophrenic vocals, intense gradation, little technical figures and interesting turnarounds, all incorporated into a relaxed, jazzy mood – a setting that suited her well, providing space for her vocal modulations, while the folksy traces in her work added an element of traditionalism.

Evenings are still cold and the darkness is not in the hurry of going away. In these rainy, foggy days you might want to calm down and rest by the sounds of sensitive guitar accompanied by silent piano, both lead by wonderful soprano. These attributes are fulfilled by talented artist Marissa Nadler, who has recently released her fourth album, Little Hells Stories of abandoned, unwanted or dead characters are sung very sentiently and suggestively. „Little Hells“ are one of best albums of this spring. Do you want to taste this portion of melancholy? Read more.

Every piece of work is different from each other, the duo is trying to find some new techniques, make a fresh sound and they have always managed these challenges successfully until now. Words like retro, dance and pop appear to be connected with their new album Junior Have they slipped into mainstream commercial scene with the most catchy a dance album they have produced? Or have they succeeded in finding new original sound? And what about their singers? Check out my blog.

They departed from the monotonous reality into the abandoned cottage in a small village hidden among woods and lakes. This inspiring and a little bit kitschy surrounding made pure, simple and fragile sound of their debut album When Your Blackening Shows what is even multiplied by amusing voice of singer-songwriter Anna. Are they just another nordic artist recording calm and boring songs, or are they really inventive contribution for the contemporary Scandinavian scene? Check out my blog.

There are no experimental beginnings and strange darkness like Sigur Rós, they don't surf among genres like Björk, they don't search for odd newness like Múm and there are no attempts to compose contemporary classic music like Jóhann Jóhannsson, or Ólafur Arnalds. Leaves have set exact boundaries just in the beginning of their carrier and they haven't crossed them since then. Leaves's music is the best combination of brit-pop and art rock with the influence of Coldplay's debut, Doves's music efforts and 90's Radiohead.
We Are Shadows their third album, comes soon. Are they taking a leaf from more famous collegues's book, or is it honest and quality piece of guitar music?

The third arrival of trio The Prodigy to Slovakia was feast not only for people preffering dancy electronics but also for everybody who experiences 90's. Nobody in 90's could avoid their great portion of hits. Recently they released fifth studio album "Invaders Must Die" and they made their show also in Bratislava's PKO under the IMD tour. Are they still full of ideas and able to attract masses? Read more. Here.]]>
