This 12-track masterpiece is a
culmination of Valentyn Matvieiev's (VM) artistic quest. Since February 2022,
VM poured his heart and soul into the project, channeling raw emotions and
unyielding determination. Even amidst the immense challenges faced by his home
country, Ukraine, VM persevered, crafting a soundscape that transcends borders
and resonates with the human spirit.
VM
collaborated with the talented Igor Antonov, who brought his production prowess
to life on the album. Additionally, Olena Kalytovska's captivating vocals
and Natalya Yackevich's magic violin add another layer of depth to the
musical tapestry.
While staying true to his signature
"grunge/avant-garde" style, VM pushes boundaries on "There Is
Something More - We Are Blind." Building upon the minimalist foundation in
his debut EP "2Push2Relax," the album explodes with rich sonic
textures. Violins and ethnic percussion weave seamlessly into the grungy core,
creating a familiar and refreshingly innovative sound.
The album's enigmatic title, "There Is Something
More - We Are Blind," embodies the profound human experience of searching
for meaning beyond the tangible. It's a testament to the power of music to
capture the ineffable – the emotions and experiences that defy easy explanation.
