Grabek - Humans (2019) EN

Wojtek Grabek is a well-established artist on the Polish music stage having won the Fryderyki Music Award in 2012 and being invited to the biggest Polish music festivals. His combination of electronics neoclassical sounds of, first of all, violins is something that really gets to the audience the newest example of which is the short album called Humans.

This time the sounds of violins are what you hear the most, but still there's always some of the electronic beeping in the backgrounds (as in the final part of Hope). The violins sound raw and sometimes almost nerve-wrecking which somewhat reminds me of the Polish folk music although it's way less lively and energetic. Indeed it is the opposite of the lively and energetic, especially in the extremely moody ballad called Tide where the basses appearing at the end drown the sad howling of the violins. Grabek in many places reminds me of this blog's favourite Lief Sjostrom what's, obviously, a huge compliment.
