Širom
Friday
Diverse musical approaches, tools, and histories come together in the repertoire of Iztok Koren, Samo Kutin, and Ana Kravanja. This Slovenian trio's work as Širom is inhabited with one-off imagination and craftsmanship, channeled through more than a dozen instruments and countless musical forms. However, they resist the temptation of only reflecting existing patterns - instead, they uncover a unique pendulum, which swings between folk sensibilities and contemporary, acoustic rock-style mode of brooding. The result is a grounded yet mystical sound, heard on the trio's most recent release, 2022’s 'The Liquified Throne of Simplicity'.
