: Shirubi Ikazuchi is just one chapter in a long array of the Estonian female musicians surfaced during the last years. Maria Minerva, Possimiste, Spice Mouse, Queennaive are some innovative names who used to fuse murky/dreamy electronica, DIY-aesthetics, and arty psychedelia. Here are represented 10 tracks running in the vein of slightly dark-hued pop comprised mainly trip-hop/downtempo-induced paces and dramatically accentuated chords and layers, however, Shirubi`s resounding voice powerfully gliding above it. At times it reminds of Army Of Lovers, at times Bjork, at times Catherine Corelli. Indeed, it is bombastic and pretentious searching for to release its huge potentiality. For instance, Seizure is exactly such kind of notch very ready to poison the Eurovision Song Contest (the annual festival for wasting the money of the European tax-payers). By the way, the coverprint is intiguing because of resembling a little bit of Brett Anderson, the frontman of Suede.
