Ružový Vankúš - Ružový Vankúš

Review by Dmitry Lapynow

Ružový Vankúš, the self-titled album by the Slovakian band, is a captivating and unique blend of post-punk, new wave, and synth-pop. The band's sound is characterized by its dreamy and atmospheric quality, which is perfectly complemented by the haunting vocals of lead singer, Zuzana Bičová.

The album's opening track, "Výlet," sets the tone perfectly with its driving rhythm and infectious melodies. The band's use of synthesizers and electronic beats is particularly effective on tracks like "Zrkadlo" and "Tajomstvá," which showcase the band's ability to create a dark and moody atmosphere.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Návraty," which features a beautiful and haunting vocal performance from Bičová. The song builds gradually, with a hypnotic bassline and pulsing drumbeat, before exploding into a powerful and emotional chorus.
