Weird Fishes (Serbia)

Weird Fishes is a melancholic indie-pop duo from Belgrade, formed in 2016 as an acoustic cover duo, but they soon moved on to creating original music material, drawing inspiration from artists such as Radiohead, Massive Attack and Roisin Murphy. Their sound combines soothing vocals, gentle guitar riffs and dark electronic beats, resulting in a signature atmospheric style.

In 2017, hey released their debut single Shades of You, produced by Srđan Popov, also known as Sergio Lounge. A year later, they released their second single, Over and Out , while their first song in Serbian,  Ovde, followed in 2019, produced by Pavel Popov.

In the years that followed, Weird Fishes began working with a new producer, Marco Benini. With him they worked on several new songs and released their debut album Šta ako, with the standout single Voda zove.

Continuously developing their sound, the duo experimented with different production styles and collaborated with members of the band Retrospektiva on the track Verujem  – a much more optimistic and upbeat track that contrasted their signature melancholic tone.

Their latest single, Panika, is a collaboration with rising singer-songwriter Zhiva. This collaboration came about naturally, as their paths had previously crossed through joint live performances, while the singer of the band had already appeared on Zhiva’s debut album.

In the last few years, Peđa and Kaja have expanded their concert line-up, adding two more members: Sava Živanović on bass guitar and Luka Sovrlić on drums. With this fuller sound, they have performed on numerous Belgrade stages, building a strong local presence.
