Gordan

“Gripping, like something ancient being born.”
The Wire 

Gordan mirror the mysticism of legends and stories from the Balkan region, creating a music that stretches between expressiveness and abstraction, tradition and the avant-garde. The visceral vocals of Svetlana Spajić (Marina Abramovic, Robert Wilson, Antony and the Johnsons, Lenhard Tapes) are both rooted and deeply interpretive. In turn, drummer Andi Stecher (STECHER, Billy Bultheel, Orchestre Les Mangelepa) and Guido Möbius on bass and electronics employ sonic strategies that steer the songs in unpredictable directions. Tapping into minimalism, noise and the rich singing tradition of the Balkans, they create something radical, and entirely their own.
