Below is a commentary by the label.

"Sam Gendel and Ugnė Uma's album Tam Tikri Objektai Erdvėje depicts a multilayered, melismatic, and intertextual perspective on what the two performers define as the "lightness of being." .Ugnė Uma's musical stance is influenced by experimental poetry and Lithuania's 20th century underground music scene, which grew out of the country's liberation through the country's independence movement, including jazz and folk.from Los AngelesSam Gendel is a saxophonist and producer who is well versed in instruments other than the saxophone, and his recordings, both solo and collaborative, have earned him acclaim as an important new voice in the modern jazz world and beyond. It has gained.

``Tam Tikri Objektai Erdvėje'' is Lithuanian and translates to ``Some Particular Objects in Space.''The six tracks on this album represent every letter of the word Saturn.They create a sound palette that is both fragile and vibrant.Some of these tracks have an almost Balearic feel to them, with hints of improvisation, samples of their own recordings and the sounds of their childhood Yamaha Portasound PSS-6 synth, and abstractions of pop and R&B. It's more meditative and more meditative.With lyrics that delve into cosmic phenomena, Tam Tikri Objektai Erdvėje is an album about space, whether cosmic, internal, or anything in between.This album easily surpasses the sum of its influences and the materials and tactics used in its production.

Text by Meakusma:

"Sam Gendel and Ugnė Uma's Tam Tikri Objektai Erdvėje album sketches a layered, melismatic and intertextual view on what both performers define as a lightness of being. Ugnė Uma's musical stance is influenced by experimental poetry and Lithuania's 20th century underground music scene - jazz and folk, resulting from the liberation of the country's independence movements. Sam Gendel, from Los Angeles, is a saxophonist and producer, proficient on more instruments than the saxophone alone, whose recorded work both solo and collaborative has brought him acclaim as a vital new voice in modern jazz and beyond.

Tam Tikri Objektai Erdvėje is Lithuanian and translates as Some Particular Objects in Space. The six tracks on the album stand for every letter of the word Saturn. They sketch out a sound palette both fragile and full of forward momentum. With hints of improv, sampling their own recorded work and sounds of a childhood's Yamaha Portasound PSS-290 synth into abstractions of pop and r&b, some of these tracks reach an almost balearic feel, the more contemplative end of it. With lyrics delving into cosmic phenomena, Tam Tikri Objektai Erdvėje is an album about space, whether cosmic or inward or the one in between. It easily surpasses the sum of its influences and the materials and tactics used to it."
