Vedan Kolod | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

"With «Wild Games» Vedan Kolod celebrate their 15th anniversary as a group. It is the first album since «Gorodische» was released in 2014. With «Wild Games» the trio goes back to their first album «Tribes» from 2005, which dealt with shamanic music tradition of Siberia. «Wild Games» was recorded under live conditions and only very sparingly reworked. According to singer Tatyana Naryshkina, the central song is the track «Fox», which returns to the early days of the band with its singing based on the shamanic tradition and the percussive elements. «Fox» is about a girl who becomes a fox. «After this song, the rest of the album took shape,» recalls Naryshkina. Children’s folk tunes were added as distinctive elements. It is played on historical instruments such as Russian double flute, hurdy-gurdy and gusli.

«Wild Games» is an album that is characterized by the love of the band members for the harsh Siberian nature and its wild animal world. The animals and their «endless play with death» were the main inspiration for the compositions, says singer and multi-instrumentalist Valery Naryshkin." -https://vedankolod.bandcamp.com/
