DAHKABRAKA (London Village Underground, 01/10/15)



I've not seen many self-described "ethno-chaos" bands in my time, but if they're all as good as this Ukrainian four-piece, then perhaps I've been missing out. Marko Halanevych's vocals, veering between a high-pitched falsetto and an guttural Eugene Hutz-ish growl is quite the experience in itself, but it's the stunning Slavic-style harmonies of Olen Tsybulska, Iryna Kovalenko and Nina Harenetska that really mark out DahkaBrakha as something special.
