Živa sila

Živa sila is an album by the Serbian noise-rock band Klopka Za Pionira, released in 2011 (see 2011 in music) on the Ne-ton independent label. The band was invited by the organizers of the Koperground festival (held in Koper, Slovenia) to play at the 2010 edition, and offered time at a local studio to compose and record a couple of new songs. The result is this album.

Without the keyboard player Đurađ Šimić and the drummer Relja Ilić, the band held two concerts in Slovenia, performing live songs and joined on-stage by their sound engineer Stefan Malešević, with whom they had been co-operating for a while. He also contributed with various instruments to this album's recording. Živa sila has four lengthy songs with extensive lyrics and one very long instrumental improvisation as a bonus track. The sound has been compared to the band's previous album, Dodole, and some reviewers see it as a continuation of the sound they developed on Dodole, although the songs are lengthier and more loosely arranged, the lyrics are more wordy and the singing style is leaning more towards the spoken word and recitation.

Although the recording was finished in August 2010, the album was not released until early 2011 due to various organizational and production problems.
