 Topic: Stara Rzeka (Poland) for PSIKEPosted: December 28 2015 at 14:35 |
|
Hello, I'd like to suggest a Polish one-man project Stara Rzeka (Old River) of Jakub Ziołek. He recently (in October) released his second (and final) album under this moniker titled Zamknęły się oczy ziemi (The Eyes of the Earth Have Closed) which I had the pleasure to listen to on the band's Bandcamp page and base my suggestion on. It was also, like the previous one, released in physical form (on CD and vinyl) via Instant Classic label.
You can find Stara Rzeka on FB too: https://www.facebook.com/stararzeka. You can find some pictures of Mr. Ziołek in there. Like this one e.g.:  It's hard to categorise this music as it contains elements of many styles but I think it would fit best under the PSIKE umbrella (Kraut?). I may be wrong though  .Edited by Tuzvihar - December 28 2015 at 18:24 |

Interview with the man after his first album as Stara Rzeka in 2013: http://thequietus.com/articles/13068-stara-rzeka-interview.
In it Joseph Burnett says: "The album is both astonishing and beguiling, composed on an acoustic guitar but broadening to draw from a wide mix of styles - folk, krautrock, black metal - with a radical and open-minded attitude that makes the resultant music impossible to pigeonhole" The latest album features in our member Mascodagama's album of the year list for 2015, even though Stara Rzeka isn't (yet) on the site: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?.TID=102815&PID=5269891#5269891. This artist will probably end up in Eclectic Prog if PSIKE team don't take up the challenge. The music is certainly very different, and absolutely belongs on the site somewhere!

No worries Bartek - thanks for a great suggestion!
There are a few decent videos of Kuba performing live in London (usually at Cafe Oto) on YouTube, showing how he reproduces this amazing music in front of an audience. Here's just one of them for interest's sake:  |

BTW, a nice quote from the interview to support the PSIKE suggestion - Jakub Ziołek said:
It may sound trivial but the only true influence is the German music of the 70s. For me, it's the most important legacy in post-World War II European music - Kraftwerk, Cluster, Ash Ra Tempel, Can, Faust, Neu, Amon Düül II, Guru Guru and many, many others. [They had] diverse, original, inspiring concepts that never concealed the pure experience of sound. |
