Band «Stūrī zēvele» captures an autumn evening mood on album «arLabunakti»

The band «Stūrī zēvele», whose album «arLabunakti» is nominated for the «Austras balva» award, took its time creating it – both the poems used and the cover artwork waited years for their place. The recording itself took nearly five years to complete.

The band «Stūrī zēvele» is known for an unhurried, calm approach to everything it does. This is clearly reflected in its album «arLabunakti», now nominated for the «Austras balva» award.

A long time in the making

The poems chosen for the album had been sitting in the band's archive for years before finally being used. The painting featured on the album cover had a similarly long wait, remaining unused until the right album came along to house it.

Five years of recording

The recording process itself was far from rushed, stretching out over almost five years. This slow, deliberate way of working appears typical for the band and seems to have shaped the album's calm, cozy autumn atmosphere.

The album's nomination for the «Austras balva» award suggests that this long and careful process has produced a result worthy of recognition.
