Overview: Idleness – “Strāva” – nra.lv

Once I obtained an electronic mail saying that “someplace on the market” a band known as “Däikāve” “has launched their first quick album (EP) ‘Strāva’, which out there on all main music streaming platforms and on the band’s Bandcamp profile”, the sigh erupted independently. – nicely, what is that this a few band with such a meaningless identify?! However, his writing, it was clear that we should always begin listening.

The principle driving power of “Dīkāve” is the guitarist Uldis Kairis, who was seen within the ranks of the Latvian “underground” cult group “Kartāgas” within the first half of the 90s (and never seen anyplace else for a very long time). time), who’s together with his outdated accomplice, drummer Uldis Zariņš (“Kartāgas”, “Voiceks Voiska”, “Sirke”, “The Satellites”). The lineup additionally contains the bassist Raivis Zhukovskis (“Pest Of A Little one”, “Fad Day Lengthy”, “Voiceks Voiska”, “Apofeoz Orkestra”), whereas the Yekaterina Mihailova (” Little-known Maid Of Shade) on the microphone.

Kairis and Zariņš have been true to themselves, and the sound of “Dīkāve” can also be influenced by “The Remedy” and teams which are simply pretty much as good. The musicians themselves say that “the sound of “Diakāve” is impressed by different music of the eighties and nineties, however the music he created is just not within the fashion or style of the sound of immediately’s music – in “Dīkāva” case “is a return to the roots, to the music that the band members grew up with and nonetheless love.” And so they additionally admit that “on the similar time, it’s clear that music is created by middle-aged folks, which displays the quick tempo of life and the impolite nature of human life.” Eh, nam if solely all middle-aged folks had been so self-critical that they may create nice issues on the similar time…

Raivis Žukovskis, a former accomplice within the arms of the 2 Uldis, by creating all this, whereas Yekaterina Mihailova joined the group to convey the significant message of the group to the folks – her venture was already known as “Maid Of Shade” in collaboration with the previous member of “Aurora” So, will probably be clear to anybody that every thing is in the very best order with the vocals “Däikāvei” too. Dubav is sort of a high quality mark or guarantee card.

The “Strāva” EP is simply a set of three songs, however it’s hoped to be adopted by an album on the finish of the 12 months. Hopefully that would be the case immediately, as this EP child makes a superb impression, particularly on the tune “Parallel Worlds”. Nevertheless, solely the very best phrases will be mentioned concerning the different two tracks “Turbīnas” and “Strāva” – this mini-album is a nice nostalgic immersion within the different music of the 90s, when there have been stunning guitar sounds and bass traces with emotion ruling. It ought to be famous that the lyrics of the songs are based mostly on the poetry of Walt Ernstreit.

The legendary sound engineer Tālis Timrots helped create the recording, whereas its visible design was created with the assistance of AI expertise by Vita Balckare. And crucial factor – the primary and to this point the one dwell efficiency of the group “Dīkāve” is predicted on July 12 on the competition “Laba Daba”!
