This album is the tenth of lithuanian sound genius and old-timer of a scene. "Bevardės salos" ("Unnamed Isles") - the journey/the wandering through sound and hardly definitive paths of your own mind. In places it is light and clear, in places anxious, in places it is horrific. The album begins with such rather fearful "Žiotys" ("Outfall") that brings dark atmosphere of waiting for something unknown. During the song something similar to rustle of a sand is being constantly heard. In the background the sound becomes more and more intensive and massive till it flows away from outfall to liquidly sad beginning of "Žara" ("Glow"). It is a complete contrast to the first song. Sounds like mood of cold and clear morning. The background of sounds is strengthened by melancholic melody, which finally becomes drawling and soft sound of some far-away hooter. The third song of the album - "Regykla" ("Observation Post") is one of the songs that one could acknowledge as a song of Girnų Giesmės by any means. If one had ever listened to this project, one will know that it's impossible to mix these sounds. The rhythm finally lapse into silence and high tones start crawling on background sounds and clear the listeners' ears. In the very end of "Regykla" a short motif of a mysterious song is heard which transmits electrical voltage through the body.
I don't think there is a must to talk about the one and every song of this album because every of them has its original and hardly definitive mood and aura. This release is indeed very strong and should find its' listeners. It is simply impossible to describe its' style or something else. Like in every song. You can listen to it so many times and still you are not able to find anything steady and groping to catch on and float away. It is constantly changing ambient, drone etc. mix which can be described as Girnų Giesmės. Equally clear and opaque, equally light and gloomy. But it is the travel through 8 unnamed isles and the title of the album says everything. The man is inclined to name everything what he knows. Sometimes even the unknown. And what does not have a name it does not have anything, it does not exist - no form, no color, no taste. It is not discovered and not explored. I can only recommend this album. To take a peek through the veil of unknowingness. And to open the doors THERE, where sailing vessel, shown on the cover will take.
