They are from Vilnius. The group is of four (drummer only helps). They are 73 years old, the sum of all four together. They playe like if they are the future of indie music. - Suru.lt
Lithuanian band Without Letters released their new single ‘Awake/Asleep’. It is their first official single and it is up on bandcamp with a remix of the single. The band’s other material offers more of a look into the expanding lo-fi math rock sound that they have going right now. ‘Awake/Asleep’ features a more fleshed out idiosyncratic sound with plenty of cowbell. You can get the single below. - JP's Blog
It captures interspersing shots of wintertime Vilnius with footage of a local, moony indie band performing a jangly guitar-led song in a sparsely furnished room. Despite deploying all the indie clichés in the book – floppy hair, sulky posture and skinny jeans – something about the band members’ earnest expressions sets them apart. The song itself, with the refrain ‘Run With the Aeroplanes’, openly yearning for escape, is pretty good, too. - Art Review

Bio
Without Letters is a guitar/electronic combination driven band inspired by krautrock, post-rock, contemporary electronic music and lesser known artists from the last decades of XXth century.
Set up by three guys who accidentally met in a summer camp in 2008 and at the time did not have any playing skills whatsoever, the band constantly evolved, added another two members and became less dependant on vocals and more on the instrumentation adding more depth to the sound and deconstructing both electronic and guitar music cliches to create a unique approach to this fusion of genres. During this period, the base idea has been kept to combine psychedelic and dance music elements into one enthralling experience.
