Sounds Like: The band "Ljute bebe" (Angry Babies) whit its production, represents independent electro-rock sound which presents "one-take" atmosphere of recording. Experienced studio-musicians recorded songs on this album which don't remind directly at any living band.
In desire to define influences on their work, we came to amazing comparisons (between Beck and Atomsko skloniste, Frank Zappa, EKV and Moby, Idoli and Arcade fire, Ivo Robic. Yes, Ivo Robic crossed our minds too!) We don't know if this is good or not from the commercial aspect, although we doubt that the commercial success was the guiding thought for the authors. Anyway, unusual band whit its own sound. The album was recorded literally at first , without glamurous post-production.With unusual, but very melodious music, attention must be definitely paid to the lyrics which promise refreshment on Croatian and neighbouring music scene. Critic of the society and intimate confessions of author, mixed with irony and wit; in other words we don't remember when was the last time when one band had so much to say.In the sense of arrangement, band decided to join violins and slide guitars, mandolin and techno-bass loops, acoustic guitar and chamber (strings) orchestra, maybe subconscious connection of all confused styles which are being offered on todays world top charts. They made an effort, for example, in that their guitars don't sound like the other 200 milion guitar players who play similarly, without exception.Connection of acoustic guitar and chamber orchestra is a hit, where a double-basses and cellos repleace the classical form of the band's rhythm-section.
We agreed that their arrangement solutions are a game and a parody on today's scene in the region.
According to our opinion, it will be very hard to decide on the potential hit singles, because there is at least eight great songs, all completely different and specific, melodious and memorable, or as authors themselves say in one of their songs : "...and I suffer, and I'm merry and don't think, and I worry..."The nucleus of the band are Doni Stambuk and Ivo Mikulic with their friends. Working in the studio, producing music for movies and animated films, connecton with movie and animaton directors will be a way for the marketing promotion of their work. Recording of three videos is in preparation, out of which one will be art animation.Material in agreement, without creative failures, "contagious" melodies and
interesting lyrics will find it's audience, that's for sure!
