Lenhart Tapes
Dens
The 2nd album from Belgrade Ethno-Noise outfit Lenhart Tapes, boldly extends producer Vladimir Lenhart's acclaimed re-tooling of submerged Balkan musics. Hypnotic Walkman jams meet industrial rhythm loops and trad-folk songs interpreted by a lineup of thrilling female vocalists: Tijana Stankovic, Svetlana Spajic (Gordan, Pjevacka druzina) and Zoja Borovcanin (Lira Vega). A magical, beauty-and-the-beast encounter of dirty noise and righteous folk. There's a lot going on in this record, and you'll want time (and your biggest ears) to catch it all. Expertly produced and mastered, with superb vocal presence, it's an endlessly fascinating analogue journey that rewards repeated and close listening. Where will they go next? One thing's for certain, Lenhart Tapes will continue to bring the Noise.
