Sumna Dyskoteka by Butch Ross
A collection of songs propelled by the Russian war on Ukraine. I say propelled rather than inspired because the war on Ukraine is a travesty and a tragedy.
These songs were pieced together more than they were written. This EP is more like collage than it is a drawing. That's the main thing that holds these songs together. There's plenty of dulcimer on here, but it's not a dulcimer album. There are some tracks where I don't actually play anything. It's more like a DJ-type thing and VERY different than anything I've done before (well, "Sweet Spotted Pony" was kinda done like this).
Each song has a story of its creation, you can read those parts of the story on the individual track info.
