Giorgio Fazer - Gorzki to chleb jest polskość (2017) EN

Giorgio Fazer is cooperation between Miron Grzegorkiewicz (known from JAAA!), Mateusz Franczak (Daktari) and tons of lyricism and sensibility that is so characteristic of poetry. This time though, poems are written with sounds and were inspired by works of Polish poets.

Now we know who is in Giorgio Fazer, but who IS he? Undoubtedly, he is an artist who writes about Poland from abroad as an emigrant. How do I know that? The unclear vocal is in English, Fazer lives across the Pond (probably Milwaukee (the third song's title translates to "Sunset in Milwaukee)) and doesn't have home (the 8th one means "It's already April, Giorgio and you are still homeless"). Also, it would mean that he is a great heirs of a traditional Polish artist who had to emigrate from Poland and is now sick of melancholia.

Especially that the album deals with questions like "who are we?" "what do we live for?", "what Polishness is?" and if it's bitter (as the title of the album says "Polishness is a bitter bread"). It does so with the help of seemingly chaotic samples and guitar sequences tied together with more or less doubtful melodies. But seen from a longer distance they form some shape. Maybe it is an answer for the questions about Poland.

"Gorzki to chleb jest polskość" costs 5 EUR (20 PLN).
