Press Reviews ...Here we are talking about a band who explores big ŇnobodyŐsÓ land often called avantguard/experimental music. Band who shares same approach to music as Gastr Del Sol, Brise Glace, Storm and Stress, even U.S.Maple & Dutch Harbor/Boxhead Ensemble... If you like here mentioned bands it is not clever to miss UZRUJAN...Members of this band uses various instruments & samples to ride their soundscapes... Leading you on exotic unexplored places deep under water or far cold north, on hidden beach, untached caves.......Nervous or better said Disturbed (which is right translation of their name to english) guitars underlined with un/pleasent noise and strange rhythms with slight free jazz feel (clarinet brings this to mind) are telling you exciting story with melancholic end. After seeing them live I can easely say (using “sport speach”) - if we put UZRUJAN in boxing ring with any other band mentioned above it would be hard and exciting fight with uncertain final score... (DB)...Not really disturbed (traslation of their name to english), but oposite, calm & clearheaded, this deadly sirious technitians are preparing ground for their halfhour long rides, rides during which everything becomes possible... Discipline in repetition helps them to widen their sound on a whole body liberating universe... Improvisation in their music stays within limits, allows frame for their sound painting to exist and not in the same time. Simply said Uzrujan is cure for contradictions, glue wich glues contradictions together into a consistant metter.Their music has more similarities with avantguard music from 1st half of the century then with contemporary rock music. Sound panel of this guys can only be described with wide list of artists... From melancholic sundscapes to free jazz bursts of noise & energy. From Slintalike sudden silent/loud approach to Gastr Del Sol nervous guitar fingerpicking. All this “influences” are used just as spices, not as a central idea of their really unique sound approach.Thier world is democracy, but democracy without unusefull & damaging compromises. Uzrujan is neither modern neither oldfashioned, Uzrujan is simply and absolutly CONTEMPORARY band. In loss of better term their music could be labeled as Amibient Concretism... (ZH)
