Zoster: "Imači kada" is an introverted album, it requires patience and listening

The Mostar reggae rock band Zoster will perform on November 3 in Nikšić's NK pub, and later that evening in Podgorica's Montenegro pub as part of the "Nikšićko Rock's" platform.

As Mario Knezović, the frontman of this line-up, revealed to "Vijesti", the upcoming gigs will not differ much in terms of repertoire from the past performances at the same places at the end of 2011.

"It will be a similar repertoire, but it will certainly differ in energy, because we are always present at the concerts, it is never a performance, unless we have technical problems that prevent us from contacting the audience," explained the singer and promised a good party.

He said that the performances in Podgorica and Nikšić will also close one phase of the group's work related to the album "Imači kada", released at the beginning of last year.

"When we return from Montenegro, we will release a single that will announce the new album that we are preparing for next year. We have a lot of material and in the coming period we will choose what will be on the album," revealed the singer.

Knezović said that the release will not fundamentally differ much from "Imača kada", but that the new songs are certainly different and bring a special touch.

The working title of the release is "War Album", and with it Zoster will mark the centenary of the beginning of the First World War and will deal with the theme of war as a brand and something that has marked the spaces in which we live.

As for "Imača kada", Knezović says that his band is quite satisfied with the reception.

"That album is quite introverted, it requires patience and listening, I think that's exactly what we wanted to do with it. The silent water of the mountain sinks. The reactions are positive," he said.

Zoster recently returned from a Scandinavian tour, and Knezović says that the trip enriched them.

"We've never been to Sweden, for example. People know our songs there too, which is great and meant a lot to us," he added. Given the good reception in Scandinavia, the impression is that Zoster would do well at the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Denmark. Last year, the band offered to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina at that competition at its own expense.

"I think it's an impossible mission because of the registration fees, the membership fee that needs to be paid for participation. But we were serious, because that way we would leave unburdened and be able to stay on our own.

Now if someone offered us that, I don't know if we would accept it, we would have to think," said Knezović. The concerts in Podgorica and Nikšić will start at 22.30:XNUMX p.m., and the ticket price will be four euros.
