Patetico: Armadilo

Nika Perunović, vocals; Arsenije Krstić, piano; Tadej Kampl, bass; Janez Gabrič, drums

A Slovenian music group, Patetico’s alchemic blend of music and lyrics reattaches the original noble connotation to the word "pathetic”. Since their 2003 ‘kick-off’, they have stood on a par with Slovenia’s most original music creators – with powerful lyrics, soulful vocals and the fiery energy of live music. With three albums under their belt (Prolog, Patetico, and Vse je vredu z mojo dušo), a new creative path is unfolding with the band’s latest project, Armadilo.

More than a mere collection of songs – Armadillo is a spatial-emotional experience and a metaphor for life marked by both hardness and vulnerability. According to the band members, the album sounds both like a racehorse at the start of its racing career, and a stargazing reflection on a galaxy existing somewhere beyond the fifth dimension. Their music combines poetry, jazz, and pop grooves with raw sincerity, creating a sense of authenticity, synchronicity, and ‘spine-tingling’ thrills. 

A project created with great dedication and love, Armadilo urges us to listen with an open heart and a curious mind.
