Sometimes at the end of it all there is \u2018\u2019something\u2019\u2019, sometimes this something is mostly nothing. But this “nothing” is more than the most of us do during our lifetime. Music is music, it will change someone\u2019s life; to others it will be just another topic to show how much they hate everything.<\/p>\n

Andrija Spi\u010danovi\u0107 and Stevan \u0106irovi\u0107 released their first studio album \u2018\u2019More\u2019\u2019 as VVhile<\/a> on November 8th. They had been recording it for a long time, all alone in their improvised home studio, with the assistance of producer Filip Vlatkovi\u0107. Fascinating artwork was done by Emir \u0160ehanovi\u0107 Esh<\/a>. You will listen to \u2018\u2019More\u2019\u2019 or you won\u2019t, the choice is only yours and I have no intention of persuading anybody if they won\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore\u2019\u2019 is for me an ideal connection with music from the time of my first serious listening experience, buying my first Sub Pop singles, first attendance of \u2018\u2019home\u2019\u2019 concerts at the end of my secondary school, listening to SST bands and this new do-it-yourself age in which the band pushes itself forward, books its own concerts, records its own songs and albums and lives an “online life” with all of its fans as if they were all members of a certain (often) dysfunctional family.<\/p>\n

At the same time \u201cMore\u2019\u2019 is modern and stuck in some “other nineties”. The walk from \u201cNobody Knows\u201d to \u201cNew Gaze\u201d lasts 46 minute and when it ends, repeat is the only choice.<\/p>\n

Passionate visitors of their (rare) Belgrade concerts know most of their songs in some form or another. The songs have been changing constantly and thoroughly. \u2018\u2019Nobody Knows\u2019\u2019 has been an opening song for While concerts for a long time, and this signal for alert from the start will remain in your consciousness while you are listening to all of their songs. It seems as though in \u2018\u2019While Things\u2019\u2019 Panda Bear resolves to take over Jane\u2019s Addiction, single \u2018\u2019Wrong Face Wrong Palm\u201d looks for its own path, seeks communication, seeks love although She does everything to make it impossible.<\/p>\n
