Set against the backdrop of singing cicadas and barking dogs, Another Album takes place from dusk-to-dawn on the Krapanj island off the coast of Croatia. The film is a staging of an album recording by a group of students and musicians who appear as part of a regular gathering. They perform songs from the Novi Val (New Wave) music era of the 1970s and 1980s of former Yugoslavia. At first glance, this performance appears as a nostalgic activity but over time, the gathering becomes solemn in tone as liner notes come into view. These writings detail the origins of the songs which the group recite on film. Personal interpretations, trivial discography facts of the various bands, and the players’ vocations converge to reveal the vestiges of a historic musical period. The film relates to a music scene which, due to the outbreak of the Yugoslav Wars and the subsequent dwindling of the pan-Yugoslav market, suddenly ceased and to this day has not yet recovered. Billing’s record of this microcosm captures the aspirations of a generation who turn to music to navigate the social implications of a vibrant network decimated by the advent of war in 1991.
