Description
Lviv, Ukraine-based krautrock outfit Sherpa The Tiger are now returning with their second album, 'Ithkuil, . Where their previous work was centred around vintage synths, minimal ambient and neon-lit kraut-disco grooves, Ithkuil sees Sherpa The Tiger explore more expansive and layered structures and compositions incorporating intricate guitars, flute, arpeggiators and jazzy piano references, alongside an array of other elements that originate from a broad spectrum of past and present music genres. With Ithkuil, the process of creation was shared among 4 musicians, and that approach had a great impact on the final result. Several years in the making and now released against a backdrop of war and invasion in their home country, Sherpa The Tiger say that Ithkuil acts as a snapshot of pre-war times: Since the war caught us in the middle of planning the release as opposed to creating the music itself, the album can be perceived as a wistful reminder of the pre-war life that doesnt seem to be coming back. The life we actually experienced but lost any recollection of and which we are desperately trying to bring back through the music created by the other us now dwelling in an absolutely different reality.
