Keitija Barbale's second album "mazāk nekā trīs" had an unusual path to completion
Musician Keitija Barbale has described the making of her second studio album "mazāk nekā trīs" — the music was ready long ago, but for a long time she lacked clarity on how to record it.
Usually, by the time an album is about to be released, a musician already has a fairly clear idea of how the finished work should sound. The story behind Keitija Barbale's second studio album "mazāk nekā trīs" (Latvian for "less than three") is the opposite.
According to the musician, speaking as part of the "Расскажи альбом" ("Tell about the album") project, the material for the record had been ready for a long time before it was released. However, unlike the usual process, where an artist knows early on how a song should sound, Barbale spent a long time without a clear understanding of how the material should actually be recorded.
The title "mazāk nekā trīs" translates literally as "less than three." This is Barbale's second studio album, and according to her account, its creation took longer and proved more complicated than usual — mainly because the right approach to recording the songs came much later than the songs themselves.
Further details about the album's sound, the recording process, or the musician's future plans were not provided in the source material.
