A third spaceship lands in Klaipėda



The windy beaches tend to start an inner dialogue about the shortness of summer, the absence of it, the quickness of months. What has taken an extra year to assemble, is worth the wait. The third Kaštono garsai (Chestnut sounds) 12" LP collection of contemporary Lithuanian music arrives.

For Kaštonas, the music venue in the city of history, this year has been a special one. The delivery of the third wheel, marks an intriguing stepping stone in the development of the mission - the assembly and production of records that display cultural gems of the local music scene. While the debut compilation now comes up in exchange talks regularly and the second vinyl continues to gain the status of rarity, the particular selection of 8 music projects in one record, now extends the total number of acts featured in the ongoing annual series to a cool twenty four bands or solo performers from Lithuania.
Traditionally decorated by Robertas Nevecka this is the most dense Kaštono garsai compilation yet.
Landing right into the middle of the musical whirlpool Umiko calls for the ride to begin. Catching the message the Without Letters are quick to keep the ball rolling through a pathway where it is hugged by Solo Ansamblis who comfort and bop along through an inviting dance.
IJO flyes up to the side of the spaceship and offers a melodic gift from his travelling bag as one is suddenly in a love movie studio of Šventinis Bankuchenas expressing his affection to the mysterious winner of a golden ticket to his concert. The lingering intro of Garbanotas Bosistas drives their message to become a clear giveaway of the destination for what is going on, as Mesijus X Münpauzn just grab the joystick and press that pedal to the very bottom of things. Order registration is possible through a link in the description of the sampler:
