Odustani (Jugoton 1983)

   

   Now a former Yugoslavian territory turning to legitimate free country – Croatia might not producing too much bands or well-known artists every year but for now, let’s just going back in time and used this opportunity to listening to these Rijeka’s Power-Pop or Indie Rock group Xenia with Josko Serdarevic on drums, Marinko Radetic (bass), Robert Funcic (guitars) and their consent female front-woman Vesna Vrandecic performing the type of soften Pop-Rock music with good sense of attributes and smart moves for creating melodic touches between one song to another which sounded fun and energetic to hear for even you might didn’t know one single thing what they’re talking about. From the album - Kad Nedjelja Prode and off the tracks like Ne (Subota Uvece) which telling the polite rejection to someone on a date, Vjetar U Kosi (Wind on your hair) and Iznenadi Me as a surprising acclamations from the female vocalist to the boy’s world outside. One shall really didn’t expected that even though the group’s playing the old stuff tempos and influences from the New Wave era as well as being attracted to silly Punk-Pop-Polka forms towards their album and music; we should know now that Croatians actually should be for having this fine band with silly performance but writing plenty fun songs eager to forgetting how you already crossing the Crveno Svjetlo !
