Ena kritiško najbolj cenjenih in slogovno kameleonskih slovenskih poosamosvojitvenih rock zasedb nas je leta 2022 presenetila z novim albumom Lying Cobra, ki predstavlja radikalen odmik od prejšnjih izdaj. Ploščo je navdahnila psihedelična avantgarda poznih 60. let, kar se odraža v večplastni, kristalno čisti produkciji, subtilnih manipulacijah analognih sintetizatorjev, božajočih večglasjih in počasi razvijajočih se aranžmajih, ki vas vodijo v spremenjena stanja zavesti.

Moving as a Giant is a Slovenian noise-via-post-rock band formed in 2022 in Murska Sobota. In 2023 they took part in the Radio Študent Club Marathon, the yearly club tour through the Slovenian club underground, and in 2024 they released their self-titled debut album on Kapa Records, which received an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and listeners alike. Their shared passion for noise is manifested in powerful and noisy synth lines and rhythmically as well as compositionally unconventional post-rock foundations, intersected by deep and passionate, though at times also very vulnerable and emotional female vocals.

MRFY is the most successful Slovenian indie rock band of the past half decade. With a relaxed approach, witty attitude and unique aesthetic, the four-piece has developed an original contemporary rock sound that won over the Slovenian public. Their debut album Story (2018) was an important landmark for the local music scene as it inventively broadened the meaning of Slovenian indie rock. Many singles from their sophomore album Use (2022) have become major hits on the national radio Val 202. Last spring, the band returned to the studio for the third time and recorded their first album in English, which they plan on releasing in 2024.
