KÕIK SAAB KORDA

Estonian band WRUPK UREI was formed back in 2004, but for reasons unknown it would take them a good few years to actually release any material. In 2012 they were ready with their debut album "Koik Saab Korda" however, and one year later their second full-length production "Teahupoo" was released as well, both of them digitally through the Bandcamp platform. The band appears to have attracted some interest after this, and in 2014 they signed with the Italian label Altrock, which reissued their first album "Koik Saab Korda".

High-quality, innovative music that smoothly disregards genre conventions and borders is what Wrupk Urei explores on their debut album "Koik Saab Korda". Stylistic details from post rock, space rock and jazz rock are assembled and tossed about with a liberal amount of flavoring from both avant-garde progressive rock and various non-progressive styles, the end result a vital, vibrant and positive brew of progressive rock that belongs somewhere inside the avant-garde part of the progressive rock universe. If you have a taste for innovative and creative music that is fun, compelling and challenging, this is a CD that should be placed high on your list of music that merits a check.
