The tenth album by the Lithuanian post industrial pioneer Girnu Giesmes uniquely marks the jubilee of composing and is distinguished by its special maturity and professionalism. Each frequency, sample or rhythm has been composed by the author himself. Some tracks are in a drone style, others in ambient, while the third contains dynamic, elemental rhythms. However, all tracks in the album have one common trait - they cannot be compared to anything else you heard before. Even the general mood of the album, although it is very close to human emotions, is practically indescribable in words. Most probably the title of Bevardes Salos (Nameless Islands) has been purposefully chosen for this musical journey, so that various listeners could explore and discover their unique vision emerging from the play of sounds. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.
Coming from the master of Lithuanian post-industrial, Laurynas Jukonis (Oro!Oro!, Girnu Giesmes), this project reveals his sincere interest in the roots of the civilisation, the beginning of the archaic, multi-meaningful, solid and conflictless reality. Svaixt's music consists of deep, pulsating and very transparent ambient building up a mystic, arcane atmosphere. The value of the album lies in the absence of digital sounds, recorded only by playing single brass percussion, inducing meditation and providing the sound with a strong oriental zest. Originally self-released in an edition of 50 copies, the album is now complemented by new artwork and presented in a limited edition digipak of 500 copies.
