HYPR105 BAD ZU - BAD LUCK 
Bandcamp: badzu.bandcamp.com/album/bad-luck

Bad Zu, now an international multimedia band, is releasing their third album on Hyperboloid, their first in four years. Three years in the making, "Bad Luck" reflects the uncertain and vulnerable times we live in right now. "Bad Luck" represents the rollercoaster of emotions that was experienced by all of us in the last three years, not only the group led by Philipp Alexandrov. There's a place for hope in a track called "Safe Place" and a place for loss in "Death Around the Corner." The album was finishing on the run — in the buses, gas stations, and motels — and it shows in its constantly changing, always moving sound representing vitality and chaos.

Attention to detail in the sound of "Bad Luck" is astounding; as Alexandrov says about the approach to making the album, "It helped us rethink the importance of music to ourselves." For years, Bad Zu was known for its energetic and astonishing performances, and you can feel their live vibe completely in "Siren Vogue" thanks to the recordings of the crowd. There's also the tribute to the night club Mutabor on the eponymous track: the dark rhythms with a take on tribal music fit the name perfectly. As always with Bad Zu, many worldwide rhythms and melodies don't dwell on any particular ethnic sound: that sophisticated approach matches the universal themes of "Bad Luck." Many filtered and sliced vocal parts create a sense of dialogue with a listener and get the feeling of a deep dive into the Bad Zu world, more considered than ever.

BAD ZU - GHOST IN THE MACHINE

produced, mixed and mastered by Violet S.

Черные птицы, белые лица,
Красные полоски — золой сгинет тёмный лес
Лечит дым немного, могу я
Показать тебе больше, чем твои глаза

Я не буду больше спать,
Не буду кричать,
Не буду плакать
На берегах рек и морей

Моя крепость сильней, чем тебе кажется
И осколок свой 
Я тебе отдам

тысячелетний EP

Summer Of Haze - Hey Jessica, I Rolled a Joint

Альбом Ромы Broosnica получился неожиданно "нашим" - здесь в совершенно простых и легких формах как будто бы все лучшее, что было у нас за последние 5 лет. И удивительно то, что по итогу это не звуковой винегрет, а просто смесь настроений, цикличных ритмов и та самая тонкая связь. Мы хотели выпустить этот релиз еще летом, но решили не торопиться, ведь, как ни крути, такая музычка заходит всегда. Приятных ягодных.

Broosnica's album turned out to be unexpectedly "ours" - here in completely simple and light forms as if all the best that we've had over the past 5 years.  And what's most surprising - being this emotionally eclectic it's not a sound salad in the end, but simply mixed moods, cyclic rhythms and that thin, very musical connection. We wanted to release this thing thing back in the summer but decided not to rush because at the end of the day this kind of music always comes in. Nice berries y'all.
