 AKLI / REMIXES EP / OUT ON PZ POP |
. |
|
| Akli is a Lithuanian post-punk/industrial music project that was created while the world was locked down by the pandemic. Isolation and solitude shaped the themes of musical ideas that were composed and recorded by the artist Kristijonas Valančius. The band’s music is aggressive and brimming with philosophic contemplations of self-worth, lust and disorder. Sonic collages of screaming guitar leads, aggressive vocals, driving bass, distorted drums and dark synthesizer passages create a unique immersive experience. The music strays from blatant cynicism and anger to illuminating moments of honesty. Akli released two critically acclaimed albums – „Taika” (peace) and “Refleksija” (reflection). With the purpose to build a bridge between stage and club scenes, the selected tracks from the album “Taika” got a bunch of versatile remixes made by the artists from various Partyzanai sub-labels: Teatre, 5ZYL, Auren, Shaknis, Kolegos, Shkema and Palmes Ziedas. The remixes EP appears on digital on Partyzanai Pop Records and launches on the 23rd of December, 2021 at Radio Vilnius. Big thanks to Mantas Lukosevicius for the cover design and Pranza (audiomastering.lt) for making it sound good. You can preview the EP on Soundcloud and purchase it over Partyzanai Pop Records Bandcamp. From the 4th of February 2022 the EP will be available on all other digital platforms.

| SUMMERTIME WHITEOUT LP / PRE-ORDER NOW |
. |
|
| Bleach Cult is the musical nom de plume of Vytis Puronas, singer-songwriter and film sound designer, formerly one half of lo-fi synth pop outfit Soy Farm. His music is deeply textural and direct, with a genre-bending approach that explores post-punk aesthetics, minimal wave soundscapes and intriguing hooks with a sweet retro vibe.Summertime Whiteout is a debut Bleach Cult album – the quirky ambient pop record that fantasizes about 1960s surf culture and romanticizes the neverending dilemmas of teen life. It is all about raw imperfections and beautiful spontaneity, captured live on a modular synthesizer, often relying on single takes and instinctive executions of tracks that leave little to no room for extensive tweaking and post-processing. Recorded in the living room at night it shies away from sophistication and complexity instead employing rough, rock and roll inspired ideas. Raw drifting analog sequences, pulsating textures and polychromatic vocals. No guitars or drum machines, however.The debut Bleach Cult album will launch on the 19th of August on our sub-label Partyzanai Pop Records. First digital and only over Bandcamp, later on other chanels. Limited 150 LPs are set to be printed until 16th of October and are already open for pre-orders over Partyzanai Pop Bandcamp >>

| PZPOP011 / PALMES ZIEDAS / FUTURA ALBUM |
. |
|
| Briefly about the scene newcomer. Growing up in Kaunas and being strongly influenced by different cultures, Jonas started producing at his fifteenths, but his relationship with music was always on an abstract level, which made his personal work artistic, floating, with no clear purpose. The album „Futura“ was inspired by the Lithuanian electronic club music culture, particularly by strong sense of modern hedonistic life. Palmes Ziedas has always felt a weakness for mid/late twentieth-century recording style, so often his work may seem domestic, too human. But these features only emphasize the melancholy sense of nostalgia of the modernist age. The debut album “Futura” appears on digital and MC format on Partyzanai Pop Records and launches on the 18th of January at event Partyzanai Pop: Palmės Žiedas Futura Album Launch at Bar Amadeus in Vilnius. Big thanks to Pranza (audiomastering.lt) for making it sound good.
