***Barcelona's Belgrado return with their second album 'Siglo XXI' and first for La Vida Es Un Mus. The 11 track album melds dark and dreamy goth and post punk with a stunning and clear production. The bass leads and drives each track into the batcave whilst the vocals yearn and ache on top. This record has a clear 80's English influence (Killing Joke, Vex, A Touch of Hysteria, Blood and Roses etc) but it also very modern day Barcelona with the reverb as important as an instrument and totally DIY. 2011's excellent self titled LP has been bettered in sound, production and song. The LP comes in a thick black and white sleeve with artwork from drummer Jonathan also including a 30x30 insert, an extra lyric sheet and a 40x55 poster.

***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!

***Obraz is a deconstruction of reality to its basic forms and most primitive elements. The starting point after maximum destruction. A reconstruction towards a new reality. The world of images and a thousand spectacles, fragmented, dismantled and reassembled. Dynamism, rhythm, energy and movement. Creative sense over technique. Reality is a construction that we ourselves create. Belgrado delivers a blend of post-punk that takes its influence from many different styles and combines them together into a new form and rhythm. Carefully constructed sound compositions driven by feeling and the senses. Geometrical figures set in motion. Inspired by the mechanical pulse of minimal synth, the hypnotic sounds of dub, the atmosphere of psychedelic and African music, French cold wave and the post-punk classics.

"At long last a chance to wander behind the sky. In the chaos of the momentary and the infinity of the image, the room hums among the countless reverberations of voice and body in which, for the most part, we remain unseen. Belgrado, a ring of keys chiming through an empty prison hallway liberating every iron door as it approaches in countless careful celebrations of its passage. El Encuentro, meaning “The Meeting” or “The Encounter” pulses in cool kindness and high energy reverie, probing the same moment from a thousand angles as if Alain Resnais photographed their own private hallucinations and burnt them into song. That moment, THE moment is so elegantly woven into lyrical silk on El Encuentro as an exploration of dreams and reality, deep personal reflection, and acceptance of the end. It is the search, and the crossroads of the ethereal science of the imaginary. It sounds like being led into the back room of a tiny club in an imaginary city lost in time - intimidating whirring machinery drawing you in as if to lure you into wrecking on the rocks in a spume of Last Year at Hacienda-bad, dizzy on Righeira punch, and burnt by the Balearic sun.15 years after their debut, Belgrado continue their journey of musical development from the immediacy and directness of their guitar driven post punk sounds all those years ago into an ever evolving musical project which has spanned four LPs ranging from minimal wave and dub influences all the...
