Elizabete Balčus. | |||
Hotel Universe | Album | 2022 |
She works with a strong visual aesthetic that draws upon modern surrealism, contemporary fashion and geometric imagery. Elizabete attended Latvian Academy of Music in order to study classical and jazz flute, plus opera vocal in Rome’s Santa Cecilia Academy. Anything is permitted in her musical cosmos: looping flute and voice, clicking electro pop beats and playing vegetables as a synthesizer, leaving the listener in a blissed out trance like state, somewhere between the waking and sleeping. Live performances engage the audience with a psychedelic and theatrical situation that is as befuddling as it is mesmerizing.
“Balčus' sonic cosmos offers more twists and turns than Alice's Wonderland, with every sound and texture exquisitely alien. She's very much in a league of her own.” - Electronic Sound
"The vibe is so transcendent in places you feel you are in motion listening to it, transported in a stupor through some faerie glade and awake before you have time to register what has happened." - The Quietus
“If Elizabete treads the fine line between visionary art terrorist and certifiable nutso in a crown made of surgical waste, she makes it sound utterly beguiling” - Gigwise
“Blissed out electronics with heavenly melodies” - Clash
“A performance closer to performance art rather than conventional music. I was fascinated to see what was coming next. Definitely a “marmite” act (i.e. you’ll either love it or hate it), but either way she is not likely to care too much.” - Art in Brighton
“There’s a lot of clever pedal trickery here as she loops her trusted flute against a wall of synthesizers and the veg plot. It’s like crazy guitar shredding but on a wind instrument and it’s genuinely hypnotizing.” - The 405
“From just down the road in Riga and dealing in sparse freak electronics creating sparse and tripped out soundscapes, Elizabete Balčus delivers her wonk digital with a perfect kooky dress code and stage presence.” - Louder than War
“Cocteau Twins meets Bjork. Great arrangement and gorgeous vocals” - Vehlinggo
“... Balčus sowing together total opposites, putting herself in untenable positions -- free jazz jams and stringent rhythmic policies -- in the name of a very particular kind of pop music.” - NormanRecords
