"Lilting vocals, swirling strings and some gorgeous glockenspiel..."
- Clash
"…thoughtful, delightful orchestral pop with a refreshingly lo-fi aesthetic." - Scotland on Sunday
"It's the kind of music that makes me want to type all day in an attempt to describe its beauty."
- The 405
Urvanovic have released the free track 'Think Fast', taken from their debut album, Amateurs, released digitally via Survivalist on 18th May 2015 and physically on 15th June 2015.
'Think Fast' is a glorious example of Urvanovic's ability to combine live and programable instrumentation to create an overwhelmingly powerful sound. The track premiered on The 405 and you can stream and download it for free via the Urvanovic BandCamp page.
You can also watch the video that accompanies the track via the Survivalist YouTube channel.
The video for album track 'Open Ground' premiered on Clash Magazine's website, and you can watch it now via the Survivalist YouTube channel and download the track for free via the band's BandCamp page.
Straddling the line between traditional folk and indie electronica, for every lo-fi song Amateurs there is an equally anthemic counterpart, whether it’s the distortion heavy and immediate album opener ‘Open Ground’ or the electro heavy ‘Bubblewrap’. Urvanovic are not a band who can be easily pigeon holed, and their ability to create a noise that’s both deliciously complex and eminently listenable is a credit to their ability as musicians. Tom Irvine and Seonaid Stevenson’s vocals blend together effortlessly throughout the release, riding on a wave of polyphony that dances from your speakers and fills the room.
With an EP on the horizon the band also have a host of Scottish shows planned in the run up to the album’s release, including a special collaboration with Edinburgh’s Tinderbox Orchestra where the band will be performing orchestral arrangements of some of their songs. There are also plans for UK tour and the band already have festival slots lined up at Hidden Door and the Kelburn Garden Party, making 2015 a busy year indeed for this Scottish musical collective.
To experience the band's captivating live show first hand, you can watch them perform at the following dates:
18th May - 13th Note (album launch) - Glasgow
24th May - Hidden Door Festival - Edinburgh
9th June - 13th Note w/ Panda Su & Finn LeMarinel - Glasgow
