Hasmusic is the first single from Galus' "Flowers eat Animals" EP [UKM 037]

After quite a long break, the artist behind one of the biggest bestsellers in U Know Me Records’ history is back. His previous album Futura sold out swiftly, and listeners’ appetite for new music from Galus (aka Rafał Gałaszewski) has been enormous.

Flowers Eats Animals is a remarkable record in many respects, and the artist himself describes it so:

“The idea for the album came about in my mind around 2011. I got to the point where I didn’t really know what kind of music I wanted to make, but I also knew that I didn’t want to repeat the ideas that I had already recorded. I wanted this material to contain the entire cross-section of music that has always inspired me - electro-acoustic music, experimental music from the 60s, as well as the fusion of jazz, electronic music, and progressive rock. Deciding on the instrumentation for the recordings, and the final sound I wanted to achieve, was what took the longest. The original version of this record was recorded in late 2012, but it didn’t stand the test of time and only a sketch of one track survived and was further developed for this record. The original plan was for this record to be a full-length album, but it turned out that four tracks, and the format of an EP, ideally suited the themes I wanted to explore and conveys the direction in which I’m developing my music.”

Five musicians joined Galus in recording the music for this record, including Elżbieta Baklarz, Dominika Gałązka, Marcel Mrozowski, Marek Pędziwiatr, and Wojciech Sobura.

Flowers Eat Animals was mastered by Mikołaj “Noon” Bugajak from the audio-games.pl studio. He described the EP:

"It’s a great pleasure to hear original music that doesn’t follow any trends, but is the result of personal explorations. This is something that is truly lacking in our country."

Let’s not forget the graphic design, which in this case was created by Przemek “Sainer” Blejzyk from Etam Crew. We have good news for his fans as well - each vinyl record will include a poster of the EP’s cover artwork. 

Tracklist:
A1. Theearth
A2. Hasmusic
B3. Forthose
B4. Wholisten

Participating musicians:
Wojciech Sobura - drums
Marek Pędziwiatr - flute, keyboards
Dominik Gałązka - saxophone
Marcel Mrozowski - bass guitar
Elżbieta Baklarz - harp
Rafał Gałaszewski - synthesizers, keyboards, vibraphone, prepared piano, percussion

Po dość długiej przerwie z nowym materiałem powraca autor jednego z największych bestsellerów w historii U Know Me Records. Jego ostatni album „Futura” [UKM 008] rozszedł się błyskawicznie, więc apetyt na nową muzykę od Rafała Gałaszewskiego znanego jako Galus, był olbrzymi.
„Flowers Eat Animals” to płyta niezwykła pod wieloma względami, o czym najlepiej opowie sam autor:

„Pomysł na album zrodził się w mojej głowie ok 2011 roku, chwilę po tym jak dotarłem do momentu w którym nie za bardzo wiedziałem jaką muzykę chcę tworzyć, wiedziałem natomiast że nie chcę powtarzać tematów które już nagrałem. Zależało mi żeby ten materiał zawierał w sobie cały przekrój muzyki która zawsze mnie inspirowała, czyli muzyka elektroakustyczna oraz eksperymentalna z lat 60 oraz fuzja Jazzu z elektroniką i rockiem progresywnym. Najwięcej czasu zajęło mi zdecydowanie jakie instrumentarium zostanie użyte do nagrań oraz jakie finalnie brzmienie chcę osiągnąć. Pierwotna wersja płyty była nagrana pod koniec 2012 roku, niestety nie przetrwała próby czasu i z tamtej wersji został tylko zarys jednego utworu, który został rozbudowany i znalazł się na tym albumie. W początkowym założeniu miał być to longplay, jednak okazało się, że 4 utworu wyczerpują tematy który sobie założyłem i forma EP jest idealna dla tej historii oraz obrazuje kierunek w jakim staram się rozwijać.”

Kevin Morby - I Have Been To The Mountain

In the Lens, Solo Andata’s fourth full-length album, was born from recordings found in the interstices of decades-old hard drives, lost email threads from disused accounts, and forgotten samples recorded on cassette dictaphones. These fragments were combined and re-worked with newer elements to create an album very much in the spirit of the band’s debut Fyris Swan (Hefty Records, 2006), an album touched by both folk and jazz and swathed in a dusty, narcotic haze.
Solo Andata’s Kane Ikin and Paul Fiocco have always pushed aside the digital studio in favor of a more haphazard and hands-on workshop vibe to their productions. They prefer near-broken acoustic instruments, cheap microphones and, as can be witnessed by their live performances, tend to turn anything they can get their hands on into a beautiful sound-making object.

While there is a raw and guileless nature to the duo’s sound it is precisely this that makes their music so powerful amidst the over-produced cliches of much modern music. The beauty of their work is how simple instruments and objects can be physically manipulated into creating such rich, layered sound. Dark, swaying, almost-looped melodies from piano, woodwinds and horns wrap themselves in smoky obscurity around remnants of percussion and warm beds of noise and the world around us.

In The Lens is very much a late-night record, reflected in the rain-soaked cover imagery, dripping with half-forgotten memories. Jittery yet calming, rhythmic, yet unhurried, it leads you down its dark corridors to a soft resting space. Ikin and Fiocco have created a new story around the chemistry of their creations that were taking place during the early days of their musical explorations.
