  15 years after their debut, Belgrado continue their journey of musical development from the immediacy and directness of their guitar driven post punk sounds all those years ago into an ever evolving musical project which has spanned four LPs ranging from minimal wave and dub influences all the way to this effort which is so heavily influenced by early dance music, and prime beachfront bacchanal. It is as much the cold sounds of Siekiera as it is Cabaret Voltaire bleeding into New Order. Packaged beautifully, hand crafted in an early modernist and constructivist style of artwork depicting the band in workers garb hinting at both the labour and ongoing service of the artist to the audience. This is a relationship they explore, in which the band declares a “celebration of the phenomenon of music as a meeting between people, both in the moment of its creation and in the energy of a live performance.” (Jonah Falco)
