Nula Started A Crowdfunding Campaign For Their Upcoming Album; Listen To New Single “Krvoproliće”

Believe it or not, in early September 2023, we recorded material for a new album, after a 30 years. In the same place, in our basement rehearsal space in Šibenik, called “Konoba“, with the same band members as during the recording of “Pobjedimo laž” in 1993.

The recording process was preceded by (again) many unexpected situations, enough to write a book, but the outcome is all the sweeter because, as a result we now, perhaps for the first time in our lives, have a recording where everything sounds as it should.

To make it easier to finance the release of the material on vinyl, as well as due to the band’s difficult functioning due to the dislocation of members, we launched a crowdfunding campaign, with the aim of collecting the necessary funds, with your help. 

The release has the symbolic name “Album“, as it carries a retrospective of the past 40 years. It includes one cover and 2 reinterpretations, but the dominant majority of the songs are old new and new new, never before recorded or released tracks. Half of them were made in the mid-90s, and the other half in the last year or two. In total, 11 songs, in just under 40 minutes, of recognizable “straight-to-the-point “, fierce and unyielding Nula’s punk, with lyrics about current social issues, delivered with the trademark vocals of Frua and Mitre.

In a truly pleasant and effective collaboration, recording, mixing, and production are signed by Ivan Jakić / Kut sobe. The album was mastered by producer and sound engineer Petar Dundov / Neumatik studio.

In addition to vinyl, as a special edition, in the familiar Nula’s style, a main part of the “Album” is the accompanying booklet, 28/A4 pages, with illustrations, lyrics, explanations, as well as translations. In addition to the band members, as special guests, some of whom include collaborators from the early days and from the first releases, the illustrations are signed by artists: Marko Balaban – Balki, Ruška Miljak – Rule, Marin Urbanc – Buncek, Marko Vojnić Gin, Ninoslav Zelenović – Zele.

The design of the front/back cover was made by Darko Kujundžić, the longtime friend and invaluable designer.

Nula – Album, will be released by PDV Records, in the following formats:

• LP (+ booklet + download card + poster)
• Fanzine/Booklet (+ download card + poster)
• Digital

For the “Album” it is possible to contribute to the crowdfunding in several different perks, including various bundle packages, in combination with different types of t-shirts.

Nula – Album (PDV077) will be released on Friday, May 31st this year as a digital release. We expect to send physical copies of the release, as well as t-shirts, around June 15th, 2024.

We’re pressing the record in the first 500 copies, and the crowdfunding goal is to try to reach the amount of 6500 €, which is needed for the production costs of the album, as well as the production of physical copy.

The first single announcing the “Album” is “Krvoproliće” —> https://www.pdv.com.hr/en/novosti/first-single-nulas-album-krvoprolice
