Absolutely blowing us away with his compositions and guitar stylings, Igor Lisul has reached euphoric heights with his new EP, Alive. Keep reading as we give our thoughts on the record, as well as a background on this immensely talented artist.


Kicking off his journey in learning guitar at the young age of 10 years old, Igor Lisul has been perfecting his craft for nearly 30 years at this point. On his 4th full length album of 2022, which is an insane feat, all of that work and sheer passion has come through on Alive. Riveting from the opening notes and taking the listener on a melodic journey through style and sound, it’s a masterclass in instrumental music. Of course, we are urging everyone to crank this up and get listening as soon as you can.


Through six songs that span right around 20 minutes in length, Igor goes in immediately, barely even giving the listener a chance to chill over the course of the runtime. For a fully instrumental record, in our personal experience it usually takes so much to hold our attention. With that being said, he had our interest piqued from start to finish as he directly infused a great deal of passion, soul, and his unique guitar-based delivery. So he has said, he puts an accent on the melody of his music, which comes through beautifully as you can continue to listen. Even though there’s no lyrics, he claims that his guitar “sings about love, soul, childhood, nature and other beautiful things”. We fully back up that claim as you’re continuously experiencing pure musicianship and artistry consistently.


Serving as his fourth record of the year as mentioned, it’s outrageous to think that one person has that much creativity bursting inside of them. In fact, this is just an EP compared to the other full lengths, but this is 100% a great jumping off point to explore the other records. Alive gives you such a nice taste of what to expect, but in a tasteful way that doesn’t feel overbearing. It’s been so long since a guitar led piece like this has made us feel drama and suspense, which is why again we’re recommending everyone click the play button!
