Never ones to avoid surprises, THE KORGIS had seemed to not release any new music after 2021’s "Kartoon World" amazed their fans with its sheer brilliance – "Kool Hits, Kuriosities & Kollaborations" and "Orchestrations" from the following years tapped into familiar tunes, after all – but the quietness with which the veteran’s fresh album emerges wouldn’t fail to astonish the aficionado. Titled “UN-United Nations” and issued in two parts wrapped in a distinct blue and red artwork, this is a fascinating opus whose first half arrived in January and the second set to see the light of day in July.
The ensemble say this record “centers itself on locations in the world. The songs are not necessarily connected but then neither are the nations of the world” – yet connections are there, not only in the lines on the platters’ covers, as seen on the montage below, but also in their respective opening and final cuts being “Beginnings” and “Another Perfect Day In St. Tropez” from the first disc reprised on the second. The results are expectedly staggering – that’s what’s unsurprising. Read the review.
