Drť / Minister

The month of May saw a release of another strong record. The engaged band Drť, drawing on punk, free jazz and hardcore released their second studio album, named “Minister“.

Their statements are very open, vulgar and the leek of the original recording of their conversation caused a great scandal in Slovakia. However, this musical recontextualization not only reflects the level of communication of high state officials, but also reveals one of the forms of top politics, the background of government business and a political set that must never return to power…
