In “Alkai”, Vėlių Namai masterfully crafts an ethereal and ritualistic dark-folk album. Inspired both by Baltic folk traditions and contemporary soundscapes, they blend ceremonial chants with trance-inducing rhythms. Instruments like the kanklės and baglama intertwine with minimalistic techno, echoing influences from Dead Can Dance to Wardruna. “Alkai” is a unique fusion of organic and digital, as well as of the sacred and the otherworldly.
