Time for a band from my hometown from the north of Croatia. Revirgin are a bit different than other bands featured here in this webzine, but they are really good in what they do, so it was time for me to review their new record. As the name says, it was recorded live in Serbia, to be more precise Vojvodina, Subotica at Ekoslavija festival and it is a first release of Ekoslavija as a indie label. Revirgin is a duo of two young individuals, Karlo and Paula and they play a mixture of electro pop rock, indie, some goth here and there and also some experimental stuff in some of the song structures. Many people that witnessed their awesome gigs compare them to Talking Heads in some way. This one contains 12 songs, with very little talk between the songs, it is more like let the music do the talking here. Set list is comprised of mainly songs from their debut full length ‘Simulations’ which came out almost a year ago. There are songs in English language and hitters like ‘Luggage’, ‘Coldest City’ or ‘Goth Simulation’ that kick ass, but the live album also contains not yet studio recorded couple of new songs in Croatian language like ‘Rekreativni biciklizam’ or ‘Dobro za građane’ for example. Karlo’s vocals are melodic but also a bit narrative and nervous at the same time which makes a great combination. Synth lines and melodies are superb and also spacy atmospheric parts too. Me personally, feel some coldness and whole vibe of the music for me is kind of ethereal and cold and I love it. If you like music like this, go have a listen, you will not regret it.
