Musical summit of the nonaligned bops and leftfield rhythms of the cult Croatian alternatives
One of the most well-known Croatian alternative bands Šumski has been for over 30 years cultivating a rainforest of nonaligned bops and leftfield rhythms. The Zagreb trio’s extensive postrock-kraut-jazz-funk-electronic flora and fauna urges one to dance and be present in their infectious optimism. Their ‘sound without borders’ is akin to Can, Faust, Blurt, Captain Beefheart but also the movies of Jacques Tati and the books of Blaise Cendrars. Touring all around Europe and with 6 albums under their belt, they’ve in 2024 reissued Ronioci (Zvuk Močvare), which sounds as fresh as it did in 2003.
