Projekt Records announces signing of VEiiLA, September release for new album ‘Sentimental Craving For Beauty’
When Russia invaded Ukraine, not willing to support the ugly war and the horrible autocratic regime, Vif Nüte and Bes Eirid aka VEiiLA packed their lives in a couple of suitcases, left their homes and embarked on a journey without destination. What followed was a period of wandering through Armenia, living in strange hotels and apartments and slowly drowning in depression.
This experience led to the songs featured on “Sentimental Craving For Beauty”.
Out on September 8 via Projekt Records as a 4-panel digipak, “Sentimental Craving For Beauty” mixes dark cold wave and alternative pop featuring female vocals. This is the second album for VEiiLA and instead of taking a well-worn path of lush studio production, for this album Vif and Bes focused on writing songs that could be played live in real time with their own four hands, a drum machine and a vocal looper. This resulted in a stripped down production with only a few occasional extra layers.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
