Rykliai ir Vilkolakiai an exceptional song in Jurgas new album
Having recently ended recordings of her new album +37° (Goal of Science), the singer Jurga is revealing bit by bit the sound of her upcoming album to the listeners. Two Jurga’s hits, Tyliai and Running have already conquered radio stations and now they are joined by a fresh and one of the most distinct songs from the new album – Rykliai ir Vilkolakiai (Sharks and Werewolves).
Jurga herself describes her work as brightly sad with a lot of warmth and notes that she is very fond of contrasts. In her opinion, the opposites added together become cosier and less frightening. “This song contains symbols, something that we all are intimidated by, as if dreaming that you’re gone. Yet the music softens it and helps tame your fears, feel secure,” – said Jurga.
Jurga’s third album +37° (Goal of Science) is going to hit the stores on the 1st of October. The singer and her band are going to present it in three concerts: on October 10 in the Theatre Arena, Vilnius, October 17 in Zveju Rumai, Klaipeda and October 24 in VDU hall, Kaunas. The tickets are distributed by Bilietu Pasaulis (its desks are in Vaga bookstores, Maxima information counters as well as online www.bilietupasaulis.lt).
With no time to relax after the recordings, Jurga did a photoshooting for her new album. The pictures were taken with a special heat-capturing device – thermovisor. The device is normally used in examining buildings but the photographer Gediminas Zilinskas used it to photograph Jurga, her band, cityscapes and landscapes, clouds.
Jurga says that one has to burn with an idea in order to discover, create and achieve something and this is represented by the +37° temperature. The first result of this original photoshooting is the +37° (Goal of Science) album art that can be found on the CD cover. For that picture, Jurga was shot with the thermovisor in the manner of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, created in the period of Renaissance when science flourished. Moving hands remind a “snow angel”, often made by kids in winter.
