“‘Aklā Sirds’ tells about those moments when, due to hurt or emotional experiences, the heart becomes blind and can no longer truly feel, love, and beat with the same force as before. In life situations, after heavy emotional setbacks, we often perceive things differently — sometimes with excessive caution, and at other times the opposite — which can lead us into new challenges. The song invites everyone to reflect on how to keep a calm mind and overcome this phenomenon,” the band members share.

The single was presented on Wednesday, September 24, at the vinyl store/café “Down Street”. It was an informal and intimate gathering with listeners, where “Aklā Sirds” was performed for the very first time. The evening flowed effortlessly, as the band played their favorite released tracks and also performed the new single live. An unexpected surprise for both the audience and the band came when singer Annika spontaneously joined in on the song “Būtu divatā”, giving the night a special touch.
