Alternative music group Juuk released their new single “Kaili zem drēbēm” on Wednesday, presenting a track about setting anger aside to reflect on life rather than reacting with frustration.
The song and lyrics were written by band leader Edgars Šubrovskis, who adapted the title from a diary entry written by author Jānis Joņevs on the social platform Draugiem.lv, according to reporting by [nra.lv]. The track was recorded at Ingus Baušķeniek’s studio, as noted by [lasi.lv].
The accompanying music video features direction by Rasa Droiska, cinematography by Roberts Skulte, and set design by Emīlija Daugaviete, [nra.lv] reported.
“We came up with the video while calling for filmmakers from the stage at a concert and – look, after a while, director Rasa Droiska and her team showed up, wading through nettles, making masks and moving tons of equipment to create a psychedelic summer feeling with the music. We hope you appreciate it!” Šubrovskis told [nra.lv].
The release marks a temporary departure for the band’s violinist Rasa Pole, who is stepping back to focus on family matters. Following a November 11 performance at the Lāčplēsis Day event “Rīga, mūžības skartā” in Uzvaras Park, the folk and country group is scheduled to embark on a December tour, according to [lasi.lv].
The tour stops include culture venue “Kurte” in Talsi on December 4, “Melno Cepurīšu Balerija” in Jelgava on December 11, and culture house “Wiktorija” in Liepāja on December 12, [nra.lv] confirmed.
