Krok Vinyl

Prepare to embark on an evocative journey with SOYUZ's KROK, their remarkable fourth album that transcends borders and genres. Meaning "step" in Belarusian, this title resonates deeply with Alex Chumak and his band, symbolizing their resilience amidst upheaval and their artistic evolution since relocating to Warsaw.

KROK unfolds like a diary of dreams navigated between the familiar and the distant, among thoughts of love, loss, and hope. Notable highlights such as "Krok," the band’s first song penned in their native Belarusian, showcase an emotional depth that's palpable. The track stands out darkly yet beautifully, evolving as tensions ease into uplifting melodies. Meanwhile, "Voo Livre" channels a haunting cinematic spirit reminiscent of Italian library composers, featuring ethereal vocals by Ciça Góes and Ina that dance gracefully over mesmerizing woodwinds.

Recorded in São Paulo with an impressive collaboration of talent-Brazilian musicians Sessa and Biel Basile, plus guest vocalist Tim Bernardes-KROK weaves together Eastern European influences and jazz improvisation into an artistic tapestry unlike any before. "Lingua Do Mundo" epitomizes this fusion, showcasing lush string arrangements that tug at heartstrings, while "Cichi Karahod" deftly shifts from acoustic warmth to jazzy pop-folk.

This vinyl release embodies not just a collection of songs but a monumental testament to perseverance and artistry. KROK is destined to resonate with fans and collectors alike, celebrating a transformed narrative amidst a backdrop of uncertainty and vibrant creativity.
