10. O Sreći U Snovima – KOIKOI

O sreći u snovima is a solid and confident release. KOIKOI haven’t invented anything here, but they deliver a collection of tracks that successfully balance accessibility with occasional experimentation. There are moments where the album hints at something noisier, darker, and more daring, and it’s in those moments that KOIKOI feel most compelling. Still, even at its safest, this is a strong 2025 entry packed with memorable hooks and enough edge to keep things interesting.

9. MOJE IME, MOJ DOM I MOJ TERET – Eva Ras

Moje Ime, Moj Dom i Moj Teret appears to be Eva Ras’s final statement. The project is a one-man screamo outlet by Belgrade artist Filip Stojiljković, beginning back in 2016, and what arrives here is a 30-minute blast of pure, unfiltered intensity. No breathing room, no easing in, no polite exits, as it sucker punches you at 100mph.

Far from an album for the faint-hearted — it’s aggressive, political, noisy, and intentionally claustrophobic. The references to Žižek, Chekhov, and Tarkovsky elevate the tracks beyond pure provocation, grounding the chaos in something thoughtful and deliberate.

8. Sve isto kao svaki put do sad – Tidal Pull

Tidal Pull is an indie rock band from Zagreb, and Sve isto kao svaki put do sad is their third album. They open strongly with Na prvi pogled, a warm blend of Midwest emo and suburban post-punk. It’s comforting, melodic, and immediately accessible. The guitars are jangly without being abrasive, and the vocals sit nicely in the mix. It’s a great introduction to the album’s overall sound.

Throughout the record, the band moves comfortably between catchy indie rock and more restrained, nostalgic moments. Much like kaleido’s debut, this project succeeds in creating a warm and approachable record filled with bittersweet autumnal feelings. My only gripe is that it also sits at under 30 minutes…

7. Fauna – Dunja Knebl

Fauna is a quietly enchanting folk album from Dunja Knebl. The project is built entirely around animals, which are accompanied by traditional Croatian folk pieces, arranged by Knebl and Roko Margeta in a contemporary setting. The result feels magical as we are treated to a wide palette of instruments from various world music traditions.

The arrangements are tasteful, Knebl’s voice is consistently beautiful, and the concept never feels forced as we move between feelings of vulnerability, endurance, beauty, and fear.

6. Sargassum aeterna – Manja Ristić

Manja Ristić is a Belgrade-born violinist, sound artist, and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of electro-acoustics, field recording, and experimental sound art. Sargassum aeterna, released via Rekem Records, presents four ambient compositions rooted in what has been described as “listening-as-speculation” — sound as a way of imagining futures rather than illustrating them.

The result is a sparse record that rewards focused listening while atmosphere and mystery are built through delicate restraint. The record represents a quietly unsettling and ominous meditation on a dystopian future already seeping through into our present day.
