Three years after their enigmatic debut, Ulesa returns with a haunting follow-up. The new album features 8 tracks, each simply titled with numbers from 1 to 8. Musically, the familiar influences resurface, blending elements of Dark-Ambient, Ritual soundscapes, and pure Experimentalism. This strange and evocative journey is brought to life through intricate details, including the haunting call of a trumpet, ghostly background voices, and ritualistic percussion. While not every track captivates equally, there are undeniable gems within this collection that make it a compelling listen. (Rating:8).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.

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.
