The Liquified Throne of Simplicity

Released

This Slovenian “imaginary folk” trio is a stomping band, using known and unknown instruments, almost all entirely acoustic: viola, daf, mizmar, balafon, ribab, guembri, banjo, tank drum, bass drum, balafon, chimes, hurdy gurdy, tampura brač, lyre, lute, brač, frame drum, ocarina, acoustic resonator, and even the human voice. The musical bends through drones and bits of composition and wild trances and gentle banjo songs. I keep playing this as I walk around, in honor of the fact that they apparently got through the pandemic by walking through the “remote parts of their homeland.” This music has an impersonal majesty.
