Darwa comes through blazing hot, marking the first artist release following a series of compilations for Abstrakt Reality. Darwa is Darja Klancar and Mario Marlot. Darja writes the songs; Peter Lorimer (Lorimer/Humpty Vision, Danzig, Martha Wash and Kristine W...to name a few) and Mario Marlot co-produce the tracks. The style is reminiscent of something like "Everything but the girl" meets "Dido" whilst hanging out at "Morcheeba's" pad, with "Madonna" dropping in for a visit. The album is very vocal, very melodic, and very danceable. The first track (Hard times) was produced exclusively by Peter Lorimer and the song flows in-between hard guitars and smooth melodic textures. This track had to be the first on the CD. "Take a Walk", the third track, is also featured on the "Abstraktions vol. 2" compilation. It seems the one that bridges the electronic side of the group with its electro pop offerings. Many listeners are truly taken by this track, and it will most likely be the first single. The more dance oriented tracks on the album, such as "Freaky Factory and " "Lesson is free" are a clear indication that Darwa is serious about the club scene. "Old man", more than any other track leans towards the indie pop side of Darwa and incorporates exotic instruments made by Darja's father. A strong track for Triple A cross over. This is a great first for Darwa and Abstrakt Reality. Enjoy!
