Oktava - Oktava
Review by Avdesh Roy
Oktava's self-titled album, "Oktava," is a unique and captivating blend of electronic and indie-pop that showcases the band's impressive musical range and stylistic versatility. The album features ten tracks that are both introspective and upbeat, with lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
From the opening track, "Echoes," the listener is drawn in by the hypnotic beats, haunting vocals, and atmospheric soundscapes. Each song on the album is carefully crafted, with layers of intricate instrumentation and production that reveal new depths with each listen.
Standout tracks include "Fading Away," a melancholy ballad that showcases lead singer Oktavia's powerful vocals, and "Dreams," a dreamy and ethereal track that features lush synths and a catchy chorus. "Oktava" is a cohesive and well-executed album that showcases the band's unique sound and artistic vision.
