My wife and I are both not the sort of people that pay attention to lyrics. Hilariously, I sequestered myself in a genre of music that foregoes them altogether, she chose a different, equally obscure music where the lyrics sound like gibberish to her. So yeah, this isn't surf by any stretch of imagination; Blato Zlato does traditional Balkan music (mostly Bulgarian) with a slight experimental twist. This is their first LP and my wife has been going crazy making it happen. She's one of the vocalists, though she arranged a number of the songs.

Unfortunately I'll be missing Monday's show as I'm in New York City while my girlfriend shows off her singing talents with her Balkan music group Blato Zlato (translates to Swamp Gold). I'll have some good stuff ready for next week. A WTUL favorite DJ Pompeii is rising to the challenge. She's done it before and by golly I thought she did pretty well. While I definitely haven't a whole lot of free time up here in NYC, I swear I'm not sleeping on the job finding new surf releases, just seems like a slow week.
