(Ethnic, Progressive) Kries - Kocijani - 2008, FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Robin Denselow
The Guardian, Friday March 14 2008
Who would have thought that one of the discoveries of the year would be a Croatian folk-rock band who revive traditional
songs, but do so with a passion and verve that makes them sound contemporary, even dangerous? Their theatrical, long-haired singer, Mojmir Novakovi´c, acts like a pop star but clearly has respect for his country's folk heritage. He is backed by a
band that matches an attacking rhythm section against a lineup that includes traditional goatskin bagpipes and the lijerica
"knee violin", plus electric guitars and bass. On violin is the band's producer and only non-Croatian member, Martin Swan,
best known for his work with the Scottish Gaelic band Mouth Music. The result is an intriguing set that veers from strong
ballads and vocal harmony work to bursts of wailing rock guitar and bagpipes. Kries are best experienced live, but this is an impressive introduction.

• The Croatian band Kries (pronounced: Kreeyes) release this second album “Kociani” just before UK appearances at Celtic
Connections 2008 and the Half the World week at London’s Pizza in the Park, both at the end of January. Strong coverage in
Froots and the music press is promised.
• The new album is produced by Mouth Music’s Martin Swan (who did such a fine job on Nuru Kane’s “Sigil” album in 2006) -
with the lead vocals of charismatic Mojmir Novakovic still very much a central feature.
• Their debut album “Ivo i Mara", released in 2004, was a Froots Playlist choice with a track on their cover disc, and
received excellent reviews in Songlines and other music press.
• In the Spring of 2007 three new musicians joined the band (electric guitar, bass and drums) - giving a more full, and more
varied sound. However, the direction of Kries remains the same : to take inspiration from traditional Croatian songs, and the
weave their own vision and modern influences into an individual musical style, equally suitable for dancing or relaxed
introspection.
• The new album “Kocijani" (pronounced:Kotsiyani), named after a small village in Gorski Kotar, a lush green area in north-
west Croatia. The band spent some time there, sharing their thoughts, walking in the woods and by the River Kupa, and
allowing nature to help the creative process.
