LP 42,- CD 39,-
Kiedy doświadczyłem nowego wcielenia
Analeny podczas Ferment Fest w czerwcu 2009 w Nowym Targu, a
następnie na Fluff Fest, wiedziałem, że będę liczył dni i
godziny. Fakt, że wokal Any stracił trochę na ekspresji, za sprawą
tego, że część uwagi musi poświęcić basowi. Ale pulsacja, jakiej
nabrała muzyka bałkańskiego kwartetu, w pełni oddaje moje
pierwsze z nimi spotkanie - gdy nieśmiało kupili kasetę Shellac
„At Action Park” na naszym stoisku na jednym z chorwackich
festiwali, by za chwilę zagrać koncert, który zaważył na moim
stosunku do tego zespołu przez kolejne lata. Później spotykaliśmy
się regularnie – przez przypadek na Słowacji, gdy nie mogli
dojechać do Piaseczna, potem już celowo – w Czechach, gdy nagle
zostałem posadzony za bębnami by zagrać z nimi „Fix me”. No i
przy okazji niemal każdej wizyty nad Adriatykiem, czasem graliśmy z
nimi koncerty, czasem piliśmy tylko kawę. Raz mało nie zagraliśmy
w kręconym przez ekipę Any filmie...
To
powiedziawszy,
straciłem wszelkie
możliwości, by być traktowanym jako w miarę „bezstronny”
odbiorca ich twórczości. Na szczęście nie mam zamiaru nikogo
przekonywać, namawiać, zachęcać. Po prostu zapraszam do cieszenia
się nową, trzecią długogrającą płytą Analeny. Wyguglacie i
wymajszajsujecie sobie co tam chcecie. Winyl i CD już dostępne u
nas!

Popatrzcie
jaki
promo tekst wymącili
sobie na stronie wytwórni:
Fear
not – the flame of independence burns on! Playing through your
speakers, ANALENA’s
new record, intriguingly titled Inconstantinopolis,
adds to its mighty blaze. A glowing celebration of DIY ethics. A
messenger of action, independence and self-control in an age of
corporations and all-encroaching social networks. A fixture on the
map of the underground scene for over a decade, ANALENA
is now even stronger and more determinedly persistent in its
do-it-yourself activism. Remaining resistant to the pressures of
consumerism, the band is still propelled by a creative DIY drive
manifesting through the care for one’s own self, through managing
concerts, through recording, releasing, promoting and distributing
their music through their own Moonlee
Records.
After
their debut Arhythmetics,
a split-adventure It's
Never To Late To Split Up
with
Austrians Sensual
Love,
the second LP Carbon
Based,
and line-up changes, the four-piece telepathically suspended between
Zagreb (Croatia) and Ljubljana (Slovenia) has emerged fortified in
mind and body and has recorded and released an explosion of energy
and emotion. Self-recorded at their own
Kozmo studio
to the baton of their guitar player Mijo, Inconstantinopolis
is a burning torch at the head of the band’s discographic history.
Mr
Moonlee
himself was lost for words, managing only a surprised: “Like
fire!”. Take
the time and let go of your prejudices! Mind your health and watch
your back! Don’t be fooled by the latest neologisms, extending from
post-punk and indie power pop through a galaxy of noise towards rock
and hardcore. At
The Drive-In, Red Monkey, Life But How To Life It, Yaphet Kotto,
Submission Hold, Hole, dEUS, Envy, Pretty Girls Make Graves
– these are just some of the names associated with ANALENA.
But why fill your head with references? Do you think that ANALENA
play only so that they could be compared to others? Wrong! They are
driven by the desire to be different, to discover new worlds, and to
express their opinions and messages. This is what makes it so
difficult to fit ANALENA’s
poetics into a single mould – yet that does not mean that they
disintegrate into a hundred pieces. On the contrary, on their new
Inconstantinopolis
ANALENA
is compact and balanced.
ANALENA
is not one of many: ANALENA
is an absolutely unique wave of sonic fantasy, rousing your
imagination as it rolls uncompromisingly from the beginning to the
end of the record. So take the journey through Inconstantinopolis
– through the full frontal scream of lead vocal Ana, disciplined by
sharp cuts of guitar and thickened by a thundering bass, which never
escapes the focus of precise and sovereign drumming. Don’t miss the
well-concealed melodies, nor the lucid guitar interplays. Abandon
yourself to a music at once forceful and atmospheric, uncompromising
and dreamy, precise and chaotic, playful and tense – to this
complex and harmonious interweaving.
ANALENA
has not fallen asleep on the laurels of its past. It has remained
ANALENA
and as such it march on with vigour and spirit, fearlessly,
uncompromisingly and sticking to their clearly defined vision, which
is absolutely priceless in these inconstant times...

HESUS ATTOR "Sonic Gastronomy
Volume 1" CD__ 29,00
Their mathematically precise anti-mixture of musical genres have placed
themselves outside of every framework. Listening to their music causes
avant-gard claustrophobia. They are as untameable as Mr Bungle once was
and Mike Patton still is. They do not fear the comparison with the
Japanese demons Boredoms and Ruins; in fact they seem to be cross-bred
with them. Just like John Zorn was in Naked City's good years.

Take the coolness of, let's say, Girls Against Boys and some other
bands with heavy rock riffs, pack it into a driven guitar-soundwall,
that is based on a very tense and quite groovy rhythm section and as
the cherry on top: sexy & harsh female vocals. No pretension -
eclectic, honest, sweaty and very guitar-laden.
