About this album

Katarina II is the debut album by the Yugoslav rock band EKV (Ekatarina Velika), released in 1984. The album blends post-punk, new wave, and alternative rock influences, showcasing the band's unique sound and poetic, often introspective lyrics. With dark, atmospheric music and emotionally charged vocals, Katarina II quickly became a landmark in the Yugoslav rock scene. Its mix of experimental instrumentation and lyrical depth laid the foundation for EKV's enduring legacy in the regional music landscape. This is a reissue after 40 years, pressed on high-quality 180 g vinyl with specially restored recordings and a new LP mastering.
