Comment: Shirubi Ikazuchi is a musical collective from Tallinn, Estonia whose last album sounds much better than any of their previous albums created ever before. More concretely, all these 8 tracks do show up different facets - there are represented New Weird/urban shamanism-alike developments a la Prince Rama which in turn are varied with hirsute, EMB-esque rattles and brooding undercurrents or with more ethereal, art pop oriented songcraft. Indeed, the latter element is being closely related to the singer`s impressionistic contemplations against those deliberately peaky instrumentation. In a word, the result is a decent art pop album.
