Berliner Meister Schallplatten | Elaiza | March 28

Elaiza is a young female trio around singer and songwriter Ela Steinmetz, whose Ukrainian-German background shapes the sound of their tracks. After the formation recently won the newcomer award of the renowned Women Of The World festival and was subsequently able to convince completely with their selected live shows, Elaiza now release the direct-to-disc production March 28 - loosely named after the recording date.

Elaiza combines old traditions of Eastern European folk with modern, pop melodies to a unique earworm mixture. Neo-folklore is what the trio itself calls its extraordinary roots-pop crossover.

The fact that Elaiza sound authentic and sophisticated even without the technology of the modern digital recording studio is demonstrated very successfully by the band on this direct-to-disc recording. An impressive sample of Elaiza in live garb.

This recording is a direct-to-disc recording from Studio 1 of Emil Berliner Studios. Direct-to-disc recordings are the result of intensive preparation and rehearsal time by the artists involved, as well as the sound engineers. The recording is completely analog and is cut directly into a lacquer foil, which is then formed into a pressing matrix in a galvanic process. Each pressed record is thus an original print of this recording.
