Escapism & the Search for Identity: ‘Thorns’ by WARTERAUM

‘Thorns’ by WARTERAUM WARTERAUM had withdrawn from the limelight for a while, but as the saying goes, ‘Good things come to those who wait.’ Now they’re back, not as a solo project, but as a duo, sounding better than ever.    Their latest release, ‘Thorns,’ serves not only as a preview for their EP but also as an auditory laboratory.   The sonic landscape was crafted using an experimental approach, incorporating various feedback and distortion techniques.

An Alternative Dream in Subtle Nuances: ‘Marta’ by Vetna

‘Marta’ by Vetna 

While the release of their debut album ‘As Lips Run’ may have been some time ago, the band Vetna has now made their first appearance with us through their current release ‘Marta’. For those already familiar with Vetna, you know what to expect. But for those who are still unacquainted with them, it’s definitely worth giving ‘Marta’ a listen.
‘Marta’ captivates with its versatile instrumentation, sailing like a ship across the musical genres,  always on course, yet dreamy in subtle nuances. The vocals are precise and filled with longing, while the guitar introduces an eternal sound that seamlessly connects the diverse musical landscapes. Bass and drums provide the right drive without being neglected. Each instrument takes center stage, that’s what truly defines a band.
Sometimes, venturing into experimentation pays off, and ‘Marta’ is a prime example. The song gains an additional facet from it. With a proud length of 7 minutes and 44 seconds, one could almost argue that shorter wouldn’t sound better. Vetna succeeds with ‘Marta’ in making a statement, conveying emotions, and impressing in every way.
