To celebrate our second LP arriving in March 2023 we made a special single record under your Christmas tree to bid farewell to this another bloody year.

How am I supposed to play? How are you supposed to play?

This is how we play crazy and bluesy.

Bluesy

Crazy

New record out on 3 March 2023!

https://decolonizeyourmind.bandcamp.com/album/a-second-invitation-to-an-uninterrupted-katabatic-lens

Katabatic Lens is the second and certainly irrefutable invitation to the inimitable artistic world of this exceptional Hungarian band.

Following the path on after their widely acclaimed debut Anabatic Prism, the geography and climate has somewhat changed: the playfulness and colourfulness of higher overtones central to Anabatic Prism fall apart and a massive gate instantly opens up to a down-to-earthness nowhere else to be found.

Is it an ancient human culture excavated in the soil or rather a fearless survival attempt in a possible near future?

Whatever the answer is, as we walk through these immense and diverse landscapes invoked by the record's stunning compositions featuring different "equal divisions of the octave" tunings and complex metres, one can be sure that this unknown planet seems real and tangible, fierce and muddy, corporeal and with an unattainable antigravitational urge to leave weightiness behind.

Our ears are enchanted by the catchy melodies while they indelibly come back to us over and over again... We are simply hooked on them.

Stupid Fucking White Man (live version)

mix made for NTS Radio / Kit Records

During my 6-week long trip in Java and Bali I saw many guitars everywhere. I wasn’t very happy as they are the true representants of the Western World - that of the white “bule”. Despite the tourists’ invasion - especially in Bali - these islands’ amazingly diverse cultural heritage is still deep there and living: the different and non-standardized tunings systems of pelog and slendro, the wide variety of gamelan and folk instruments, the different soundings of each gamelan orchestra, and also the wayang puppet theatre, the mesmerizing topeng masks or the visceral trance dance called “jathilan” - to name just a few. I present here some of my field recordings to express my deepest respect and admiration to this uninterrupted and vast cultural heritage, not to mention some amazing calls of the local fauna and the warm-hearted and humble people living on these unique islands.
