Laboratorija Zvuka

Laboratorija Zvuka (Serbian Cyrillic: Лабораторија Звука; trans. Sound Laboratory), credited as Laboratorija (Laboratory) only on some of their releases, was a Serbian and Yugoslav rock band formed in Novi Sad in 1977. Laboratorija Zvuka were a prominent act of the Yugoslav rock scene, noted for their eccentric style, erotic lyrics, unusual line ups and bizarre circus-inspired stage performances.

The band was formed by brothers Predrag and Mladen Vranešević, who had previously been composing music for theatre, film, radio and television. The first lineup of the band consisted of the musicians with whom the Vranešević brothers had previously worked in studio. The group released their debut, concept album Telo in 1980, joining in on the Yugoslav new wave scene and gaining notable mainstream popularity. Their following releases, Duboko u tebi and Nevinost, were stylistically diverse, with the band maintaining their provocative lyrical style. In the late 1980s, the band, although never officially disbanding, retired from scene, as Vranešević brothers dedicated themselves to music for film, theatre and radio and TV shows. The group returned to the scene in the mid-1990s, only to release their last album, Nema niđe te ljepote.
