“Moderately Handsome” will be the third studio album in the band’s history, which will surprise fans with unprecedented musical experiments and collaborations. The first single of the album “Bride”, for example, was made in an ethnic sound together with the best bagpipe and drum masters in Latvia – the group “Auļi”.
“We live in a time when we need to appreciate more than ever what we have been given, so the song is about the love and power it can provide and the desire to protect what is truly important and precious! We are very pleased, that this is the song and its message with the best masters in their field, and “Auļi” is definitely like that! ” says cousins Triceps and Biceps.
The new single is created by combining seemingly so different musical styles – the ethnic genre with popular music and rap, which is the first such creative experiment in the history of both groups.
“The Auļi Ball has often featured Bermuda Triangle hits, so we were really excited to be offered a recording of the song. a great opportunity to work together again with our friends from various contemporary folk music groups to create a men’s choir especially suitable for this song, ”says Kaspars Bārbals, the bagpiper of the group” Auļi “.
Edgars Grabovskis from the folk metal group “Skyforger”, Ēriks Zeps from the post-folklore group “Rikši”, Edgars Zilberts from the folklore and ancient fighting group “Vilkači”, Andrejs Planders and Viesturs Āboltiņš from the folklore and experimental archeology group also took part in the recording of the song.
