Shaita - Halfasleep (2011)
/Darkwave, Noirwave, Lo-fi, Singer-songwriter, Experimental pop, Dark pop, Neoclassical, Synth noir/
Comment: Halfasleep is the sophomore issue by Shaita, a female singer-songwriter from Zagreb, Croatia. Despite being the singer-songwriter, she used to be very remote from the kind of folk-ish sound. In detail, her bias is turned toward the dark-shaded corners of pop music. During the run of 7 tracks, however, loads of mirrors and reflected pictures of her own will be shattered and the subsequent shards of it will be moulded below the following layers. It is mostly brooding, having even of malicious shift, yet, on the other side Shaita is not a representative of orthodox darkwave sound incorporating the elements of lo-fi sound, thus resembling of the Estonian underground star Maria Minerva, for instance.
