LEVEL 46: PREWN (US) + DENIS KATANEC (HR)

Level Up predstavlja garažno freak folk pesmarico najbolj vročega imena čislane bostonske založbe Exploding In Sound!🙌 Za fene: Mitski, Big Thief, PJ Harvey, Pile Under the name Prewn, Izzy Hagerup creates a kind of garage freak-folk built on sharp contrasts. Quiet, almost restrained guitar melodies are suddenly slashed by bursts of torn distortion, while the vocals shift between hushed whisper and tense, almost trembling confession. She shapes her songs like small psychological studies—fragmented, anxious, and full of inner tension that comes to the surface in ominously quiet pauses. On this year’s album System, released by Boston’s Exploding In Sound Records, that tension feels even more tangible. The arrangements are more disciplined, the rhythm often seems deliberately cut short or held too long, and the melodies break at moments where most artists would choose the more expected path. The songs which represent a diary of Izzy’s mid-twenties were written in the midst of sleepless nights, obsessive thoughts, and an inner restlessness that refuses to fade."Her voice is unmistakable – spidery, strange, carnal – and her pen is equally bizarre and enrapturing. Rickety, goosebump-inducing cello-rock." - Stereogumhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwO2RJBJSbohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzjUhBGjPW8https://prewnmusic.bandcamp.com/album/systemDogodek podpira Mestna občina Ljubljana - Oddelek za kulturo
