It\u2019s the band in microcosm: cracked, insistent beats, rhythm chasing rhythm, a deadly serious playfulness, and the intimacy of close friendship undercut by the sense of emergency of a flashing torch. \u0160irom are all about the head and the hand, and the dark that always pushes against the light.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re around another kitchen table now, and the three members of the band \u2013 Ana Kravanja, Samo Kutin and Iztok Koren, in any order you like for this is a collective endeavour \u2013 are gently fending off any question that attempts to reduce their music to type. It\u2019s not the first time they\u2019ve had to suffer a conversation like this since their highly acclaimed second record, I Can Be A Clay Snapper, became one of tak:til\u2019s first releases two years ago. \u2018Imaginary folk\u2019 is Samo\u2019s preferred description, but the word \u2018preferred\u2019 is doing some heavy lifting here. You get the sense that the band don\u2019t much care for labels. \u2018It\u2019s also good not to know everything,\u2019 he says. \u2018We don\u2019t want to play something that sounds like it already exists.\u2019 (Although fans of psych, outernational field recordings, folk horror, Don Cherry\u2019s Organic Music Society, Rileyesque minimalism or mutant country might find a home, however fleeting, in \u0160irom\u2019s world.)<\/p>\n<p>The band are more than happy, however, to bust two myths that seem to have grown up in the last couple of years. First, this is not Slovenian traditional (or traditional Slovenian) music. It might be produced from and by each of the three landscapes in which the band were raised \u2013 the Karst, the hills of Tolmin, the eastern plains of Prekmurje \u2013 but unpicking what came from where is an impossible endeavour, as Iztok points out: \u2018We know the impact of the landscapes that have influenced us could be measured, but practically it\u2019s impossible because there are too many variables. Nevertheless, it is important that we ask ourselves this question, because it is like a compass \u2013 it gives you direction, but it doesn\u2019t say what you will find at the end.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>That quest, which starts with every song, and feels renewed each time it\u2019s played and listened to, leads us to the second misconception: that \u0160irom are an improvisational band. For sure, improvisation is an indispensable part of the initial songwriting process; but it\u2019s an expression of their collective manner of working rather than any musical statement per se. These are precisely crafted songs, each one months in the making, in preparation for the time when the mics are switched on and they can finally achieve what they need to without resorting to overdubs of any kind. Keen-eared listeners will hear a continuation of the last song on Clay Snapper in the first song of the new record: a nod, perhaps, to the fact that they began work on the new record immediately after the last.<\/p>\n<p>But whatever has gone into the music, from the band\u2019s home landscapes to their previous and in some cases still current musical projects (classical, hardcore, flatlands post-rock), \u0160irom sound like no one else \u2013 and that\u2019s the point: \u2018When we make music, it\u2019s like making a new world,\u2019 says Samo. The world of the new record \u2013 A Universe that Roasts Blossoms for a Horse \u2013 is indeed subtly different to that of the last: the viola still teases and tugs at the percussion (or is it the other way round?) and the banjo still periodically tries to break free and set up on its own, but there\u2019s a glimpse of electricity (that rarest of beasts in the \u0160irom catalogue) in \u2018A Pulse Expels Its Brothers and Sisters\u2019, courtesy of Samo\u2019s homemade tampura bra\u010d, more vocals, albeit as unsettling as ever, and a new sense of spaces being prised open. What remains is that strange and unmistakeable \u0160irom groove, which exists to be broken down (as Ana suggests), and the dark joy that runs through all their work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ana Kravanja<\/strong>: violina, viola, ribab, qeychak, balafon, bendir, pi\u0161\u010dali, zvo\u010dila, glas<br \/><strong>Samo Kutin<\/strong>: ikitelia, hurdy gurdy, tampurasti bra\u010d, lira, melodika, cevni zvonci, tolkala, zvo\u010dila, glas<br \/><strong>Iztok Koren<\/strong>: banjo, tristrunski banjo, balafon, gamelan, tank drum, tolkala, zvo\u010dila<\/p>\n<p>Naslovi:<\/p>\n<p>1.
