The band Xanima, hailing from Stockholm, released their second album earlier this year: “Prototype: Homo Sapiens”. Partly they describe their music as progressive rock and artrock, which also feels like the foundation of their music, but is a long way from describing what it’s about. Here’s a darkness and mystique, almost like it was fetched from goth rock and to some extent new wave, and, particularly, a great deal of grand drama channeled through the charismatic singer Jade Ell. It’s a powerful album with thirteen tracks that serves us almost an hour of music, and it’s one of those albums that grow as you more and more get into their special atmosphere.
