"PARADIGM" is a new chapter in the history of STRIDULUM. Duo, guided by many various inspirations, created an album that still fits perfectly into the dark wave niche, and yet has a huge radio potential. Insanely catchy, diverse songs make the reception of the album an extraordinary, emotional experience. Layers of synthesizers from Arkadiy's fingers seem to flow between musical conventions, drawing handfuls from many genres. Volodina's vocals, stronger than ever, take the listener to the darkest and most beautiful corners of the soul. "PARADIGM" is an album that will leave you with a pleasant feeling of desolation.
