Pavlov is a three-piece band, based in Litija, Slovenija, formed in 2017. Fusing elements of post-punk revival and
new wave, they create a landscape of dark indie rock. The group consists of Marcel Kralj (vocals, guitar), Domen Malis
(drums) and Miha Medvešek (bass guitar). In November 2018, they released their first single, ‘Konji že jočejo’,
followed by the singles ‘Lov’ and ‘Soviet’ which were introduced in spring 2019. Their fourth song ‘Stolpi’ came out
along with their first music video, it was well received by the audience and also earned the title of ‘Song of the Week’ by
the Radio Terminal. After the single ‘Odboj’, that was unveiled in early 2021, the band returned to the studio to finish
their full-length debut album ‘Predor’, which was released in November 2021. Shortly after the album's release, which
earned the title of 'Album of the Week' on Radio Terminal, the band began performing at various clubs and venues around
the country. Among others, they performed at the iconic Kino Šiška, at the international club festival Orto Fest, the
Summer in Tivoli festival and in the Gromka Club (Metelkova town). The accompanying metallic sounding drums, heavily
propulsive bass, synthesized chords dressed in the silk of melancholy, and picturesquely abstract verses that call out
in the native Slovenian language are some of the shades of Pavlov's sound painting.
“... Fantje vedo, kaj so želeli,
in točno to so ponudili. Predani so lastni ideji, zasidrani v točno določeni maniri, kar se pozna od začetka do konca, saj
niti za hip ne sprejemajo kompromisov, ubirajo bližnjic ali se polaščajo trikov, da bi ugajali ali pripadali tej ali oni sceni. ...”

Plata tedna: Pavlov – Predor / “... Za skupino, ki svoj prvenec izdaja pred enim samim nastopom v živo, je to vsekakor zavidljiv podvig. Je torej videti luč na
koncu Predora? Težko reči. Zagotovo pa Pavlov po zanesljivih tirnicah proti svetlobi drvi s polno paro. ...”

“... Ponotranjen in artistično zrel temnejši rock. ...”

“... Songove izvode na maternjem jeziku, a same pesme sa izdanja, koje su međusobom ujednačene, pokazuju da je ova ekipa
uložila puno truda da na kraju sve ispadne onako kako su pretpostavljam priželjkivali. ...”
