PSIHEDELAVCI (Slo)

Martin Ukmar: el. guitar, vocals

Nastja Janžekovič:  el. viola, synth, vocals

Samo Pavlica –  drums

A trio that dabbles in the tradition of guitar psychedelic music with alternative musical spices. Dreamy and soft, but at the same time critical of society, spicy and sharp as the Karst bora wind.

They are the local advocates for spontaneous psychedelic guitar music. The band as a trio has been creative between the Karst region and Ljubljana and have been collaborating in various musical combinations, as part of Kraški solisti, Akami, nevem nevem and Tovariš strmoglavljen. The latter marks the creation of the first songs in this formation in 2018. Their musical expression has developed from the initial hypnotic and repetitive form into a more homogenous rhythmic harmonic entity, which is colourful and hard to define, staying away from the confinements of any genre. . They are also characterised by impressive narrative and surrealist lyrics which deal with the elemtary existential questions by any individual or society as a whole. 

zZemljoPles is the first studio album by Psihedelavci and it follows the live ‘V živo’ album from 2019. It is a six track album , where the songs are divided in half by language, in Slovenian and English. The contents were recorded in the spring in their home studio baza31 and was brewing through the summer and autumn of 2020. Last year it was finally born. The album is marked by the turbulent times in which it was written. Currently new songs are being written and continue to join the concert repertoire from both released albums.
