The Russian Зацикленность release their albums in a very regular and systematic manner, already in January they were close to be posted about on this blog with their "Abasement" and now they are finally here due to the melancholic guitars filled album "Disenchantment". If you look for an instrumental music to cry to, the Perm based project delivers.
What else could be expected from a band who on their account quotes Kant writing about loneliness and disappointments as a price for divinity. Also the tracks here are entitled as the corresponding states of a human being, apart from the already mentioned, also mediocrity or dependency. This theme is also present in the music - there is hardly any of aggressive pace changing or soul-crashing noise, it's more about building long, repetitive sections that evoke more likely melancholy and gloom withing the audience. And there's no doubt that was precisely the goal, especially when you get to one of the touchingly sad samples with some monologue in Russian.
The album is decorated with a beautiful art that is not really fitting the content though. Because the album is more about losing the illusion of the point in existing and about disappointment over life. But if you turn the blind eye to this incontinence, you can enjoy the music a lot. PS: a disclaimer, this is not a soundtrack to the new cartoon by Matt Groening.
"Disenchantment" costs only 1 USD.
