Comment: Okinawa Lifestyle is a collective from Tbilisi, Georgia which can be considered one of the most fascinating musical projects originating from the post-Soviet territory. There can be supposed if the duo had a privilege to be the US-based combo by roots they might have acquired the status of a famous indie band. Underwater, the 7-track whole basically blows up exhausting dreams, blissed-out flickers, and sultry dance rhythms. The favorite of mines are Green Wand which is an mesmeric instance of shoegaze-induced whirlpools and epic power, and Girls Annoy Boys (feat. Alie Lavoie) which sounds like a piece dedicated to the legacy of Madonna`s album Erotica.
