Sounds from underground/File N°68

in our musical journey we're still in Slovenia. feels like possibly great scene? perhaps. anyway our guest today is a group called «Balans». their Lp is entitled «Bunkerpop» and I think that is already enough reason to love them.  it's like haunted, psychedelic avant-garde master taking you info his trip. absolute must have/love/steal
0.name of the band
balans. It means balance in some Slavic languages.
1. where are you from?
We're from the universe of Slovenia, Europe. Ljubljana is a small pact of wild wolves with a lot of pigeons that annoy tourists and people that eat burek after 2am in the morning.
2.what kind of instruments/equipment you use? do you use some particular record technique? which is your method of composition?
Čona actually got her guitar for her birthday and Jadran stole a bass guitar and some effects from some dude we don't know anymore. Čona also likes to use her vocal chords and Jadran likes to play around with some midi synths plus we also integrate loops and field recordings in our music. We've never been in a proper studio and we don't plan to do that in the near future; for now you're gonna keep hearing our low quality recordings with us talking during the jamming. We prefer spontaneity, improvising and reinterpreting our material, rather than structured songs.

1. where are you from?
We are citizens of Earth and you can find us most of the time practicing in Ljubljana capital of so called country Slovenia. We don't believe in borders and nationalities and weird stuff like that...
2. what kind of instruments/equipment you use? do you use some particular record technique? which is your method of composition?
It all begun with Tina on drums, Mihael and Žiga on guitars. But since we play improvised garage noise r'n'r music we started to expand our range of sounds with saxophone, trumpet, synthesizers and things we can hit or press and they react back with sound.
