(review) Revirgin – Moderna Rješenja

Revirgin were already featured on the pages of this zine. This duo comes from my hometown of Čakovec and this is their new album containing twelve songs, all songs this time in Croatian language. According to the band, these bunch of songs were already written a year ago and recorded this year. Revirgin play their vision of prog art rock mixed with synth pop, synth rock and I love how they create that eerie and a bit bizarre melodies in their song structures with Karlo’s voice being kind of similar to David Byrne of Talking Heads. The last album couldn’t escape the comparison with that legendary band, but this one also has some domestic influences like Azra or EKV, maybe it is only me hearing it, but I hear it in the song structures. I recently watched them play live and they did an awesome show with couple of old ones and mainly songs from this album. Lyrics are personal, read between the lines, allegoric and different than most of the bands out there right now. My personal favorites on this album are ‘Egzodus ’97’, ‘Dobro za građene’, the title song, but you must check out the album as a whole to get the full picture. Revirgin makes albums that make you hear something new every time you listen to them, so go for it!
