The Slovenian avant-garde folk trio Širom, made up of Iztok Koren, Ana Kravanja and Samo Kutin, have been getting good reviews for their latest album, A Universe That Roasts Blossoms For A Horse, so we thought we’d put together a post with a few videos to familiarise you with their “imaginary folk music”. You can follow the band on Facebook. They’re about to start a European tour, with their next local show on 3 October (2019) at Ljubljana’s Kino Šiška.
