Genre/Influences: Industrial, electronic.
Background/Info:
Ukrainian duo Dmytro
Fedorenko – Kateryna Zavoloka released their debut album “Edge Of The Universe”
in vinyl format on Le Cabanon Records. This production was released in 2017 and
revealed an interesting sound approach created by those familiar artists from
the Ukrainian underground scene. Dmytro Fedorenko is known as the owner from
Kvitnu and Kateryna Zavoloka is doing the design for the label while she also
has her own solo-project called Zavoloka. Notice by the way Prostir is a label
that has been set up by both protagonists to release the material of Cluster
Lizard.
Content:
Just like on the previous
work, Cluster Lizard explores the wider fields of experimental- and industrial
music. The atmospheres hanging over the work are quite essential while the
industrial sound treatments inject a rough and harsh touch to the work. I also
got the impression there’s a part of improvisation running in their work. But
some passages are also more elaborated and feature subtle sound arrangements.
Notice by the way the
track titles are directly taken from poetry by William Blake, Lesya Ukrainka,
Lex Gigeroff, Arthur Rimbaud and Lord Byron.
+ + + :
I like the artwork of
this album, which has been designed by Kateryna Zavoloka. It’s simple, but
really original. Sound-wise Cluster Lizard aren’t repeating themselves although
they hold on to similar influences as on their debut work. It’s an original
opus with great sound atmospheres and noticeable cold sound treatments. “This
Has Happened Before And It Will Happen Again” is a well-crafted cut revealing
an intelligent sound format.
– – – :
This album reveals more
experimental passages than its predecessor and it’s not exactly the strongest
part of this project.
Conclusion:
Cluster Lizard confirms
their potential and appears to be a creative and efficient alternative to the
familiar industrial standards.
Best songs:
“This Has Happened Before
And It Will Happen Again”, Fighters Of The Fight, For Their Home And Their
Heart”.
