“Nothing more” than an innocent radio exercise in running through fifteen original songs, is how Avtomobili like to modestly put it, but it gave us the first official live document from one of Slovenia's most refined art pop rock bands.

Better a late spring than an early autumn! A return of nostalgic sentiment, a return of legends with seasoned artistry and maturity. The new album radiates a strong team spirit, and this time pop has stepped well back from rock!

"You can feel that this lineup can reach even higher and even further in artistry."

Maturity, experience, tight-knit chemistry, a more-than-successful integration of Šuligoj on bass, the one-of-a-kind pairing of Mirko Vuksanović and Alan Jakin, and of course Marko Vuksanović's unmistakable vocal stamp all reach full…

The first rays of spring sunshine coaxed one of the greatest legends of Slovenian rock out into the open: Avtomobili from Nova Gorica, who this time pulled over in Krško.
