IDEM is a solo project of Antun Aleksa, good spirit of Croatian underground scene who also plays in Trophy Jump, Porto Morto and Jeboton among others. This is a collection that IDEM grew for couple of years now and mixture of escaping and coming full circle. This is in fact collection of ten songs mixing post punk and pop punk sensibilities with beautiful and at times haunting melodies. Lyrics are in Croatian language and speak of fun, love, feelings, growing up in an loving environment, lust for life and also being thankful for happiness and small moments that make life worth living and continue soldiering on. Some of the songs are similar and remind a bit of Trophy Jump, but different and original at the same time. I can’t help myself but this album brings somehow joy into my heart and makes me warm around heart while listening and enjoying this music. Songs like ‘Uvijek Super’, ‘Žujice’, ‘Nikad Sama’ or ‘Potopi Ovaj Brod’ sure to win you over. So, I recommend this album to listen as a whole, at the same time reading lyrics and get into the vibe that it brings. I know it brought lots of joy to me. Hope it will bring it to you too! The album is at name your price on Bandcamp, but if you download it for free, drop a word or two to Antun, I know him and I am sure he will appreciate it a lot.
