Driezhas

Longing juxtaposed with harsh industrial rhythms; music infused with ethnic layers and embellishements; music that speaks the language of the IDM aficionados and takes its listeners to the borderless realms of cinematic soundscapes; music of contrasts and unexpected turns that has its roots in an eclectic electro-acoustic medium – these are but a few ways to describe the project Driezhas, a polished duo currently consisting of Kristijonas Lučinskas and Ieva Astromskaitė. Together they transplant Lithuanian sound traditions, apparent in their lyrics and instrumentation, into an alluring and trendy world of digital experiments. Driezhas”is an ever-changing creature; it is a cross-breed between synthpop and ambient, folk and electro, dancing and listening.
