Sketis Music
Vily (=Pitchfork) : Doch Stepei / The Steppe Daught (RU,2006)****
chosen tracks for airplay : tr.4, "At the Riverside" tr.5, "The Falcon"
These are original songs inspired on folk and the people living on the Steppes. It has powerful, -with an ability to become operatic at times-, female vocals, folkrock arrangements with mostly acoustic guitar, electric and acoustic double bass, folk percussion, various flutes, and violin. Most tracks are slightly upbeat folkrock, but there is a certain capability to work towards pastoral passages too. This is Vily's second album.
Label description :
