Dark Bardo‘s third release, Belgrade Burning, from their upcoming album Contact Sailor, arrives during a pivotal moment in Serbian history. The song delves into a significant period when Serbia experienced extensive protests against the oppressive Milosevic government, which tragically yielded no change. Subsequently, the city endured a relentless onslaught of bombings aimed at halting the regime’s brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing. In the midst of this turmoil, the youth of Belgrade defiantly sought solace in grand apocalyptic parties, where bombs served as a backdrop to their abandon.
Belgrade Burning captures the essence of that intense era, reminiscent of a psychedelic, electrifying incarnation of MGMT. It offers a powerful musical journey intertwined with a rebellious spirit.
