Beissoul & Einius

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beissoul & Einius is a Lithuanian musician and designer duo from Vilnius , consisting of Artūras Žabas-Beissoul and Einius Jarutis-Einius . The trademarks are the eccentric outfits and the mostly round mirrored sunglasses.

history

The band was launched in 2011. The acting pantomime Artūras Žabas, today's singer “Beissoul” played a decisive role in the formation of the band . Even before the band was founded, Žabas was already involved in music. a. in the music project MuseIQ . One motivation to want to make clothes himself came from the fact that Žabas could not wear shoes during his studies because he is size 49. So he was encouraged to dance with socks because the shoes provided did not fit him.

Concept and style

music

Officially, the band calls their music "Electrofashion". The music is strongly influenced by electronic background music, the vocals are quite pop-heavy . The relatively high and slightly distorted sounding singing voice of Beissoul can be described as very distinctive here. Your shows are viewed by the public or by trade magazines such as B. referred to as “extraterrestrial fashion show” or “music of the future”. Overall, the band makes use of the style of the 1980s and 1990s. The band feels inspired u. a. by Seal , Luther Vandross , Ray Charles , Whitney Houston , Beyoncé, and Jennifer Hudson .

Text and speech

The majority of their songs consist of songs in English. Some songs are written in the national language ( Lithuanian ), a few in Ukrainian . The lyrics are for the most part very detailed and melodic, but mostly have a melancholy or profound text. With the song " Як ти й сказав" , a modification of the originally Lithuanian original: " Kaip tu ir sakei " (in German: "As you said"), the band was able to land a major hit in the local language in the Ukraine.

Live performances

While Einius, the band's DJ, takes a back seat when performing live, Beissoul interacts strongly with the audience. Since 2017, the musicians have also been designing fashion, which they also present as part of the show during their performance. On the one hand, the two artists wear the designed clothes themselves, and on the other hand, models present the fashion collection in some shows on a catwalk set up there, which protrudes deep into the audience. The “fashion show” is accompanied by electrical sounds. The self-portrayal, especially of the singer, is relatively laborious during the performance in order to achieve the "hypnotic" effect that is often described in this way. The band mainly performs in Lithuania, but z. B. also in Ukraine , Belarus and the United Kingdom .
