Katarsis – Tavo Akys
You know that one guy in your uni’s indie society who never took off his coat, even indoors, and wrote poems in the margins of his economics textbook? He’s back. And now he’s fronting a Eurovision band. Katarsis, led by the magnificently floppy-haired Lukas Radzevičius, promise themes of pain, longing, and personal liberation. What they actually deliver is a post-punk alt-rock dirge that sounds like a migraine in baggy navy workwear.
Tavo Akys feels like it was engineered to be intense. It’s so intense, in fact, that after 1:56 you start looking around for exits, or possibly a fire alarm to pull. The arrangement meanders, the vocal floats in a fug of artful despair, and the overall effect is like being trapped in the back room of a Vilnius gallery opening with no wine and too much incense.
This is less a song and more a cry for help disguised as a Spotify demo. It will not be troubling the scoreboard. Or anyone’s memory.
