J. Edward Keyes, Philadelphia Weekly
In Solarium is marvelous... loose and jubilant as springtime, violently happy... crammed with the sound of 100 guitars on overdrive.
Ian Fletcher, Comes With a Smile
Pia Fraus are a glimmering discovery in the here and now.
Album Description
"In Solarium" is the second album from Pia Fraus. It was recorded during three weeks in July 2001 by Lauri Liivak (of Estonian band Bizarre) at his Forwards Studio in Tartu, Estonia. It sees the band reaching new heights of sonic texture. The band’s six members utilize a bevy of instruments including farfisa organ, synthesizers, "noise", two vocalists, bass, drums, and of course those wonderful guitars. Their songs have a remarkable sense of melody that’ll be stuck in your head for ages. The layers upon layers of guitars, keyboards, and boy/girl vocals put you in a different place - a land of daydreams and bright colors. It’s pop. It’s noisy. It’s brilliant. Absolutely gorgeous two-tone silver and burgundy design throughout this package will have your eyes drooling. As with all Clairecords releases, the first pressing of this album will have limited edition artwork.
