VETVEI, V07, CD, Ltd.484, November.09 Made in Russia, Yaroslavl
Vetvei label presented its first CD release, a collaboration of two congenial projects dedicated to the Symbols of Creative Roration. A retrospective journey by the bird through smells of melting herb songs and contemplations of the mysteries of Life. They are flowed away by Water, from the Ice to the boundless lakes dancing in mosses. Following to the Forge of Earth, walking the dense forests, winds and marshes, meeting the Heart Guardians. All the cycles of nature follow each other, Fire goes to Water and Earth goes to Heaven. Cosmos swaddle the birds flying toward dawn. All invocations in the name of Life. Many praising voices of people and animals merged into a rhythm that glorify the Natural Order, eternal and endless. Field recorgings, woodwinds, strings, percussions and drums, voices, tape noises and electronics was used in this work.They're all merged into a single timeless canvas. Spirit of every living thing awakening runs through it. An atmosphere of Ritual crossed with cosmic primordial Drone Ambient. One of the important parts of this release is design - 7"EP 6-panel cardboard envelope covered with the signs of Vetvei. Standing in awe of Majesty and experience of true Beauty. Tradition, vibrations for a New Cycle.

"Death Pop on nautittavan hallittu rikos listapoppia kohtaan." Mesta.net / J.A. Kaunisto
"Bändi on erittäin underground ja indie, mutta myös häpeilemättömän pop. Kun tähän lisätään hieman tummia vivahteita, saadaan yksi Suomen sympaattisimmista yhtyeistä." Oulun Ylioppilaslehti / Eero Kettunen
"Kauniita melodioita, tummia sävyjä, kimallusta ja hypnoottinen naislaulu – mainiot ainekset oivalliseen kuuntelunautintoon." Noise.fi / Ville Kuitunen
”A work of art that stands out from the glut of current Finn-exports of all music genres.” Nonpop.de / Michael We
