Amrou Kithkin - Lamentations EP (2017) EN

Probably the majority of Polish new wave bands is somehow connected with Łódź. This huge city in central Poland seems to be a perfect environment for the genre, well-aligned with the "city, mass, machine" motto (coined by Polish poet Tadeusz Peiper). Amrou Kithkin is not an exception as they are based in Kielce and, you guessed it, Łódź.

It's not a new creation, their beginnings date back to 2011 but they have just released only their third EP. Bartek G. Wrona and Piotr Rzodkiewicz prefer the ethereal wave label and indeed, their music is somehow like dreamy shoegaze with emotionless vocals and crucial bass line that pull them towards wave. They are down to some musical experiments too, as "Angel Fetish" is close to some ambient sounds accompanied by vocal that sounds like a poetry declamation while "Extortist" is basically a coldwave ballad.

As their spiritual managers on the FB profile, they mention probably the most important journalism-organization people of the Polish offstream - Agnieszka Szydłowska and Artur Rojek. Well aimed.

"Lamentations" costs 2.35 EUR (10 PLN).
