Children Of The New Dawn: Weekend Playlist By Kristeva

by | Mar 15, 2019 | MUSIC

Every Friday evening, RVA Magazine brings you another incredible playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week, our playlist comes from Kristeva, an up-and-coming post-rock ensemble from Richmond, which mixes classical stringed instruments and occasional blackened screams into its epic instrumental grandeur. Kristeva will be headlining the Camel’s Shamrock The Block after party Saturday night, which has been cleverly titled “Post-Rock The Block.” They’ll also be releasing the cassette version of Goliad, their newest EP.

You can get a preview of that EP in the Weekend Playlist Kristeva has created for us, along with a fine selection of ambient, emo, post-rock, indie, and even hip hop and metal — plus you’ll hear tunes from the Richmond bands they’re sharing the bill with at The Camel tomorrow night. So what are you waiting for? (Post-) rock it out, Virginia.
