New Music from Central and East Europe – Vol. 2

Various Artists

Tamizdat

Have you ever wondered about the music scene in Croatia? Hungary? Slovakia? Well, if you have, then you’ll find Tamizdat Records’ new compilation, New Music from Central and East Europe – Vol. 2, to be very fulfilling. A few of the most amazing tracks are The Beatle-esque “We, Wearing the Sunglasses” by the Polish band Endless Noise, the spicy “Amenoyuki” from Rale (Czech Republic), the Slovakian vinyl flavored downtempo “Creambax”(Nylon Union) and the most beloved jazz dipped “Soda Jungle” from Robotobibok. New Music is like a sampler of the coolest new music, except it’s all foreign. Cool, very cool. Listen to this while you’re reshaping you beret and reading a dog-eared copy of Egmont, you cultural junkie, you.
