„After their debut album “Odron Ritual Orchestra” (which was featured in Bandcamp’s selection for best jazz records of 2019) SVETLOST are back with a punch and a kick! Unlike the large ensemble performance of “Odron Ritual Orchestra”, this record has the group in its original incarnation – a trio – focused on ambient and electronic noise as much as on acoustic jazz.

This recording from the archives captures the group’s third concert, played in the studio of Skopje’s legendary radio Kanal 103. It was made through the radio’s vintage broadcast mixer Soundcraft SAC200 which contributes to the unique tone of the record, and also the odd crackle and pop heard throughout.

The music on “Jazz (to the working class)” was written specifically for this performance and is unique and unrepeatable – not that that’s a bad thing! The album is dedicated to the working class, to which SVETLOST proudly belong.“
