In defining the output of this remarkable trio, the prefix “post-” is virtually essential. The Lithuanians explore new sonic territories with a fresh, creative approach that weaves through post-jazz, post-punk, and post-rock. On one hand, they draw motifs from jazz classics and academic music, only to pivot toward spectacular deconstructions\u2014venturing into the realms of metal, experimental electronics, improvised free jazz, and even techno.<\/p>\n

The band performed as part of the \u201cLithuanian Focus\u201d showcase. <\/p>\n
The year 2019 marks the 450th anniversary of the Union of Lublin. This jubilee provides a perfect opportunity to better understand\u2014and essentially rediscover\u2014Lithuania, our northeastern neighbor, which is still primarily perceived in Poland through the lens of the Romantic era.
\nIn constructing a musical panorama of Lithuania for the Rise of Eastern Culture \u2013 Different Sounds festival, we aimed to capture a variety of genres and phenomena. Our goal was to showcase the broadest possible spectrum of what currently shapes the identity and uniqueness of this Baltic country\u2019s scene. The \u201cLithuanian Focus\u201d program was created in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania in Poland, the Lithuanian Culture Institute, the Lithuanian Film Centre, the M.K. \u010ciurlionis National Museum of Art, and the Lithuanian Photographers Association, with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania. <\/p>\n
