  • Description

    After an eight-year wait, Kries finally release their much anticipated third album on Riverboat Records.

    Kries means bonfire in an old Croatian dialect; an apt name for a band who burn barriers, mixing modern and traditional Balkan instruments to give new life and meaning to age-old songs. Kries founder and lead singer Mojmir Novakovi 263; was one of the first to mix Croatia's traditional music with modern forms, and the band's cutting-edge production values and musical influences – from Radiohead, Brian Eno and The Velvet Underground to hip hop - create a unique and exhilarating take on the tradition.

    Recorded in Dubrovnik's Marin Drzic Theatre, Selo Na Okuke / Village Tracks captures the essence of their live sound in a beautiful acoustic space, with driving drums and bass combining with syncopated guitar chords and incredible virtuosity on traditional bagpipes and the lijerica. With an iconic status in Croatia, Kries re-interpret age-old songs which transcend borders of time and place.
