This band from Latvia knows how to set up experimental and intrivated tracks that also have the power to capture the listener's attention, mixing tricky embroideries and charming moods, in the wake of King Crimson, but with an original and interesting approach.

"Cherdak" was the second studio album by Olive Mess.

The whole "Cherdak" album is packed with unpredictable changes and riveting passages, but I think this song is a very good way to get started with Olive Mess. By the way, the band is named after the French composer Olivier Messiaen. Not for the masses, but...
