/Alternative, Lo-fi, Garage pop, DIY, Blues rock, Bedroom music, Post-psychedelic electronica, Electronic pop, Experimental indie/


Comment: this is the first compilation issue by an Estonian virtual label, called Lita. It contains 4 tracks, 2 of them are recorded by more well-known artists (Zahir - an Estonian noise and blues-rooted underground legend who has been active since the first half of 90`s, and today`s Estonian golden pop girl Maria Minerva who has issued her releases on the Not Not Fun, a Californian-relied panacea for DIY/lo-fi/experimental artists all around the world. In any cases, both of them demonstrate their power at the highest level). However, the hysterical garage propulsion Ma Pesen Oma Hambaid Verega (I wash my teeths with blood) by Kooma, and bouncing rhythm sequences and catchy pop-laden hooks by Endel are suggestive in their somewhat sneering attitude either. In addition to the music the publication involves a PDF-based document of how promote your music (though it is written in Estonian it includes a shitloads of links for important places and domains). In a nuthsell, it is a great miscellany which proves that the things are getting improved with every next issue within the Estonian alternative scene.
