The Baltic States - Brother

Review by Susan Goodknight

Baltic States' latest album, Brother, is a mesmerizing journey through a soundscape of synth-pop and electronic beats. The trio has crafted an album that showcases their ability to create a unique blend of sounds, with each track offering something different and exciting.

The album opens with the pulsating beats and haunting vocals of "Run." The track sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its dark and brooding atmosphere. However, the album isn't without its lighter moments. "Fading" is a standout track that features a catchy chorus and upbeat rhythm that will have listeners dancing along.

The production on Brother is impeccable, with each track featuring intricate layers of synths and percussion. The album's sound is both futuristic and nostalgic, evoking memories of '80s synth-pop while still feeling fresh and contemporary.

Lyrically, the album explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. The haunting vocals of lead singer Marcis Vasilevskis add a sense of vulnerability to the tracks, making them all the more emotive.
