What To Do, How To Live?

by Lakiko

supported by

Nickie Harte Kelly Although Bosnian artist, Lakiko, has released several EPs, this is her first full-length outing. She is a cellist who utilizes looping and sings with an incredibly clear voice, in a Bosnian technique called, “Sevdalinka.” The music is haunting, ominous, and often dissonant, with dashes of electronica. Altogether enchanting. Favorite track: Tobogan.

1.	Tobogan 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Sjedimo na toboganu Plamenom od upaljača Topimo znakove, srca i inicijale Trava ne raste na našem igralištu Lizalo u prašini Hrđave šprice i kese na granama Tuberkuloza u žutim pljuvačkama Opušcima mrak gađamo Ništa se nije promijenilo Osim što umjesto lizala Čakije nosimo Sve se mijenja da bi sve ostalo isto
2.	Junaci 04:36	lyrics	buy track
Znala sam onog dana kad tražila sam mrak i vidjela sebe u tebi Junaci se smjenjuli Junaci jedni za drugim pogibaju Ne plačem ja kad vidim Pištolje koji pucaju I naprijed i unazad

Da li šuma gori Ili sam samo oblaku nasjeo U daljini cujem život Cujem zivot Dok čekamo Da nas bageri zatrpaju Smijemo se Baklave jedemo Više je bilo Nego što je ostalo Dobro je da smo ovce Kako bi se inače smijali

about

What To Do, How To Live? is Lakiko’s debut album and is sung almost entirely in Bosnian using a vocal technique from the Sevdalinka tradition. A piece of experimental performance, the artistic vision was drawn out of a period of deep contemplation, looking backwards, reflecting on the modern Balkan experience, her growing up in Sarajevo, and the scars and hardships that city and people have had to endure and thinking about how their future will unfold

about

Lakiko

Mysticism, Dream and Sound Explosion.
Lakikos music resembles an oriental bazaar, where you can find the rebellion of the medieval Bogumils, the clear structures of classical music up to experimental soundscapes - the music of her own brain waves.
Her hallmark is the clear, mystical voice, the expressive cello playing framed by the relentless repetition of the loops. ... more
