I Tpame I Tvrame - Ikin Vijnë (2018) EN


Both the catchiest and the dreamiest band of Albania come back to Łabandzi Śpiew. Since "Future Attitude", the musicians managed to release an EP "Altered" only to come back now with another long play called "Ikin Vijnë" and show the world their electronic shoegaze.

The title of the album means literally "Come on". And fittingly, "Ikin Vijnë" seems to be more mature and better written, as if the duet Franc Kurti and Dina Hajrullahu wanted to show the world that they are ready to be included into the European first league of electronic music. It's visible even in the cover art that combines the Balkan past with the present times in an intrigue way, the history and minimalism.

The best part of I Tpame I Tvrame's music is the way they build up tension and atmosphere of danger that cannot be ignored. It's audible both in the ghostly "Who You Used To Be" or unsettlingly true "Sin" based on thick bass line and short vocals phrases. But not only, the whole album is made with this on mind, plus the diverse, sometimes more atmospheric, sometimes more danceable music and melancholic, emotion-deprived vocals by Hajrullahu.

"Ikin Vijnë" costs 8.95 EUR.
