I’d never heard of Röövel Ööbik until May this year, when I was given a copy of their most recent album Ringrada (which has amazing cover art).
From Estonia, they have a long history (formed in the late ‘80s, before Estonian independence) that I haven’t figured out yet. Apparently they were a favourite of John Peel.
This though, from Ringrada, is one of the songs of the year. The drums coming in slightly late after the first chorus is inspired. Just wonderful.

I'm a mate of the band here in Tallinn. Its a band comprised of some of Estonia's most interesting characters, RÖ's sound has always been inspirational, they are awesome live and I think they would go over very well in the UK!
ReplyDeleteThe previous album "Supersymmetry" is also excellent.
