Russian blackgaze duo Olhava is back with their new studio album. Frozen Blooom
is the natural follow-up to self-titled Olhava (2019) and Ladoga (2020), and
integrates some dronescapes the band experimented on Never Leave Me Alone
(2020), the drone version of their debut.
Multi-instrumentalist Andrey Novozhilov and drummer Timur Yusupov describe their
new journey with words of thoughtful contemplation: ôWhen winter is just
starting to fade and give some space to the first steps of springà When life
starts to reappear and the very early flowers peek through the thawing soil, a
sudden drop of the temperature can leave them petrified and frozen back again,
punished by the ôQueen of Fieldsö. This statuesque dead beauty, being infinitely
alive and dead at the same time is the main metaphor of this album. Frozen Bloom
is about unfulfilled dreams. About how we sacrifice everything today for some
abstract ôtomorrowö, which may never come. But tomorrow and yesterday donÆt
exist û only this very moment of static contemplation is realö.
Frozen Bloom is OlhavaÆs fourth opus in three years, and here the duo took some
different routes compositionally. Two of the four tracks are traditionally
storm-like blackgaze passages, while the other two are leaning towards a more
meditative drone experience. The album also features A. Lunn, who kindly agreed
to record an electric guitar solo as well as acoustic parts and choral parts on
ôFrozen Bloom Iö.
