The liquified throne of simplicity
Utekočinjeni prestol preprostih

"The imaginary folk trio powered by acoustic and handmade instruments engage and invite with expansive compositions that echo the past, present and future. Haunting and subtle vocals accompany, meditative hurdy-gurdy, lilting lute, banjo riffs, viola plucks, scratches, wind and stretches blend with a range of probing and diverse percussive rhythms to provide an immersive state of escapism. The track names prepare you for reconnecting with the landscapes awaiting".

"Combining surreal humour with a globalised sound palette, Slovenian "imaginary folk" trio Širom fashion maximalist avant-garde soundscapes from antique acoustic instruments like the balafon and hurdy gurdy ... "Grazes, Wrinkles, Drifts Into Sleep" opens with gentle freak-folk twinkles and scrapes but evolves into a free-jazz cacophony of drones reminiscent of vintage John Cale. Even if the trio occasionally flirt with over-indulgence, their artfully rootless roots music makes an impassioned statement both aesthetically and, more opaquely, politically too".
