Māris Šverns trio Baložu pilni pagalmi (Latvia)

Baložu pilni pagalmi have been a cornerstone of the Latvian indie scene since 1994 and are widely regarded as a local underground cult band. Each of their records is widely anticipated amongst their devoted fans. The band is a constantly experimenting phenomenon – breaking the cliche notions of the right kind of music. Baložu pilni pagalmi create welcoming melodies about everyday life with a unique sound, which allows listeners to experience that elusive catharsis of early morning hour revelations after a night spent in good company. (C) Positivus Festival (2017).
