Our Take

Szilard Mezei Septet's latest album, "Cetin," is a musical rollercoaster that will leave you both exhilarated and slightly confused, in the best way possible. This Serbian avant-garde ensemble does not hold back in their exploration of unconventional sounds and structures, delivering a listening experience that is as perplexing as it is rewarding.

From the moment the first track, "Kaleidoscope," hits your ears, you are transported to a world where traditional boundaries of music are blurred and redefined. With intricate arrangements and unexpected transitions, each song feels like a journey through a sonic maze, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.

Mezei's masterful compositions are brought to life by the septet's talented musicians, who seamlessly navigate the complex rhythms and harmonies with precision and flair. The interplay between the different instruments creates a rich tapestry of sound that is both chaotic and harmonious, leaving you captivated from start to finish.

While "Cetin" may not be for the faint of heart, those with a taste for the avant-garde will find this album to be a refreshing and daring addition to their music collection. So buckle up, dear reader, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the musical minds of Szilard Mezei Septet. Trust us, it's a journey you won't soon forget.
