Belgrado "Intra Apogeum" LP

Seven long years have passed since Barcelona beauties Belgrado last bestowed a full length upon the citizens of Planet Earth, but the wait is over, and 'Intra Apogeum' is here to make your life worth living again.

With a new bassist in tow, a couple of fresh-out-the-box synths, and drummer Jonathan Sirit switching from kit-bashing to button-pushing, you might be forgiven for thinking your favourite post-punkers have gone cuckoo and lost it. But fear not - more than a decade in the game and Belgrado still know What They Are Doing. Eight sleek-n-chic numbers that simultaneously burn white hot and ice cold. As with their previous record 'Obraz', Belgrado have taken the Xmal Banshees template and bled out in all directions, stylishly blending a classic post-punk intuition with elements of disco, dub and psychedelia, now with added textures of electronic lushness.

Recorded in both Barcelona and singer Patrcyja Proniewska's native Warsaw, 'Intra Apogeum' is testament to a band committed to pushing forward and investigating the new whilst clearly demonstrating they know who they are. Belgrado is back - viva Belgrado!
