"Razbliuto" is the full length debut album of Electronica band Lark which was released in August 2006. After the underground success of their debut EP Mouth Of Me, the band started pre-production on the album in December 2005 and in May 2006 they entered Sound and Motion Studios with their newly joined drummer Sean Ou Tim Who played live with the band on various occasions.

ound and style

The album is largely based on trance and electronica, but the majority of the album was made using pure live instrumentation, unlike many electronica Artists their sounds are made with the fundamental instruments of rock such as guitars, drums, and bass guitar, but Ressels, Radcliffe, and Ou Tim experimented with instruments such as electronic drums, Doudouk, and the Harpsichord. Although they mainly use live instrumentation the band still stays true to the fundamentals of electronica which is the use of sequencers and drum machine which still Dominate the album.

Inge's voice is used very differently on the album, unlike other electronica artists her voice is not effected on the majority of the album but she over-dubbed her voice which is heard on the title track which features her voice alone, over-dubbed to give a choir-like feeling to the song, many of her influences come from the opera world, using techniques such as falsetto and being able to hold and shift notes while making an imitation of an instrument which can be on 'spider's eye'.
