Pre-order/pre-save/pre-add the new album, here:
In Solo Ansamblis' unique style, moody post-punk meets robotic techno, with lyrics sung entirely in the band's native Lithuanian. Using a combination of live instruments and electronic elements, the quartet conjures thumping energy and monotone melancholy, masterfully playing with the tension between these two extremes. Anthemic one minute, mournful the next, Solo Ansamblis' music references Kraftwerk, Joy Division, Underworld, and much more, and might resonate with fans of present-day greats like The Soft Moon and Preoccupations. A recent appearance at MENT Festival in Slovenia earned the band these enthusiastic words from Under the Radar Magazine:
"Goth synths permeate post-punk rhythms and a classic sense of retro-futurism. It sounds like the idea of the future as viewed from the past... Some sort of enthralling death disco!"
The band's "Baloje" video, making its debut today, is a mix of live action and animation, directed by acclaimed Lithuanian artist GoraParasit who says the work is based on the Greek myth of Icarus.
The band has given this statement about the song: “Usually changes are possible after collapse of inner order. Improvements come after learning from mistakes. In our song 'Baloje,' we talk about reaching the bottom, but it is the only solid foundation from which we lean against and start building a new 'me'."
