KREIVISKAI – MOTINAI DIGICD

YOUTUBE ►

Genre: Neo-Folk, Ritual Ambient, Neoclassical. Comes in a solid 6-sided digipak with a large booklet, a poster and a sticker.

Kreiviskai is one of the brightest and most distinctive representatives of the Russian neofolk scene. The project has always impressed with the quality of its execution, the depth of its vision, and the meticulous crafting of both its musical and conceptual aspects. Infinite Fog is proud to present their third full-length album ‘Motinai’.

Motinai is the result of nearly five years of creative exploration, composed largely by a single individual with significant contributions from vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Maria Prismakova, as well as other musicians. All details about the participants and the instruments used are provided in the accompanying booklet.

This album grew out of a deep reflection on local religious identity and the search for archetypal foundations. Having crossed epochs and transcended territorial boundaries, this path of understanding ultimately leads back to its origin — the native land — in a symbolic return to the Mother.

Motinai is a cultural and creative historiography of the Great Goddess — a presence that, according to the author's perception, has been rooted in local religious tradition from ancient times. Through the archaeology of myths, echoes of the distant past, and a projection into the future, the album embodies the idea of archaeofuturism — a deep rooting in tradition combined with a striving beyond its limits.

Initially positioned within the classic Neo-Folk scene, over time the project has dissolved genre boundaries. In Motinai, elements of dark folk, ritual ambient, ethnic motifs, and neoclassical music are interwoven, creating a unique, timeless, and profound sonic fabric.
