22 by Seine

'22' je sniman na prijelazu 2018. u 2019. u Studiju Radost. Snimanje, miks i produkciju radili Seine, pod ravnanjem Dimitrija Petrovića. Sviraju Petrović i Ščapec, a aranžirali su ga uz pomoć Ivana Grobenskog. Ovaj album je pokušaj skidanja vela s lica, paučine, nečeg što je toliko blizu zjena da se više i ne vidi. I svaki pokušaj da raspoznamo, um tjera u poznato, već viđeno i stabilno. Kako se um opire, tako sliku oblikuje prema svom liku. Um se pod svaku cijenu mora očuvati, a slika uklopiti, da sjedne u sklop. Ovaj album je podsjetnik da ne ide sve uvijek glatko, da nešto krcka. Trenje je stvarno.

Seine's 2nd album '22' brings forth an amorphous genre-bending sound, combining elements of noise and alternative rock, trip hop and no wave with sporadic cabaret undertones. The pair continues its exploration of the intriguing, ill-lighted and downtempo moods that have defined their debut while putting a new emphasis on dissonance and atonality. ‘22’ showcases intricate arrangements and muscular instrumentation, its seven hook-laden tracks slowly drifting through melancholy waters. The electrified acoustic guitar and drum set are still the backbone, but they have expanded their sonic palette with piercing electronic textures, classical instruments samples and driving polyrhythms. The resulting leftfield grooves engage the listener in a noisy introspective dance.

Seine’s music still gravitates around Ivan's easily recognizable soul-searching androgynous voice. His is a timbre of a man with puffy eyes, a sombre heart and turbulent spirit. In his dark and waggish verses, he wryly explores the triangle between money, war and transcendence from a beyond-good-and-evil standpoint. The days of love songs are dead, long live money poetics!
