Poznań-based Grzegorz Zwierzchowski creates a unique, neoclassical take on prog/post-rock music and releases it under the moniker DeLaa Fargis. Last time he appeared on this blog it was just after releasing his album Paralax Markovian Denigrate. Now, after two years he's back with Collapse of Meanings.
The main characteristic of his music is that despite the prog rock attire (the artworks, the titles, even the project's name), Zwierzchowski's music is fueled by piano keys. There's guitars, there's a bit of noise and drums of course, but the main thing are the keys and I love it. Another thing is that the artist cleverly introduces other Polish classics to the audience, like this album is accompanied by Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert's poem, one that has some eery lines that could be applied to the nowadays situation here ("it’s like a vast depression/hanging over the country"). And although the title of the album suggests a work about some kind of ending, some kind of apocalypse, the music is honestly too pretty to deliver the nervous atmosphere that may have been the point here.
