Hungarian darkfolk project Cawatana released 'Real, Open' in a special NCN2026 version on 7 August ahead of an appearance at Germany's NCN Festival on 6 September.
The new treatment is available in full and radio-edit forms and combines acoustic guitar and accordion with live percussion, drum machines, analogue synthesizers and bass.
That mixture allows the project to retain its folk identity while widening the rhythmic and electronic palette, serving as both a standalone release and a festival preview.
