Kadaitcha – Urban Somnambulistics (Digital Album – Ant-Zen)
Ukrainian duo Yurii Samson and Andrii Kozhukhar originally released this album in 2017 on Repartiseraren. The five original tracks are now being revived and reissued by Ant-Zen.
Kadaitcha explore the boundaries between genres, blending diverse influences into a distinctive Industrial and Noise expression. Dark loops, progressively accentuated vocals, percussive elements, and analog effects converge with occasional spoken word passages. Anarchic and unraveled sonic structures merge into a surprisingly accessible whole. The result culminates in a kind of free-form experiment, where a few guitar textures emerge and surprise the listener.
Personally, I find the opening tracks particularly compelling. Kadaitcha is a true sonic experience! (Rating:7).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
