"Nature Never Produces The Same Beat Twice" **

another listen suggests that there are a lot more programmed "drums" on this new record, a drum track driving things or, at least, distracting from the underlying tunes. which is ok, but not really my expectation of a zavoloka record.
another listen to vedena suggests that the drums were always there, they just didn't bother me as much 8) (they are slower and more distorted here, less drummy somehow, maybe that's it)

my absolute favourite thing of hers is svitlo

the bit from 3:20 onwards is my current ringtone

Just listened to the new one last night. Very nice... but yes, less adventurous and epic as Vedana, but still really solid. Kinda wish it was a bit longer actually.

New one really clicked today. Love how the beats are covered in a static blanket. Definitely a grower which almost sounded rote on the first few listens; but this is some fine insectoid techno with lovely ambient bits

New album, Ornament popped up via Spotify Hipster Boyfriend and it is predictably wonderful!
I am forever looking for this thread, to revive and go "this is some awesome shit, maaaan" and never finding it because of the misspelling. Should we maybe get that changed?

sad to see Kvitnu stopping. i must have about 20 odd things from that label (and would've bought more during their sales except i could never remember what i already had)

They were a very cool little label, and I always meant to buy more from them than I did, but usually by the time I got to looking at their neat stuff, it had usually sold out!
I think Zavoloka have her / their (I think it may be more than one person now?) own bandcamp and I should go and throw some money at them because it's A+++ quality stuff.

This is the label they're on now:

she now seems to work with Kotra a lot, whose solo stuff had too much of a prediliction for white noise for me.
am sure the Kvitnu bandcamp page will continue.
their last release was a white 7" single with a locked groove of silence, called 'Silence'. https://kvitnu.bandcamp.com/album/silence
