about

October 18th marks the release date of a brand new album from Polish supergroup Innercity Ensemble (featuring members of Stara Rzeka, Alameda collective and Kapital). Entitled "IV", the album consists of 8 brand new tracks that will take the listener far from band's improvising roots.

"This time we decided to focus more on the post-production, including edits, overdubs and remixes," explains Jakub Ziołek (guitar, voice). "This was driven mainly by the outcome of our recording session as well as a simple will to push our music further than before," he adds.

One of the biggest surprises this time comes from Ziołek himself who decided to add vocals to 3 tracks, a move previously more in place with his other projects. "And that's exactly why I decided to do it," Ziołek laughs. "Innercity Ensemble was an instrumental band from the very beginning but I must admit that I have a constant urge of trying new things. What I enjoy most in music are nice songs," Jakub says.

What makes Innercity Ensemble stand out is also the attitude that ignores members' musical backgrounds, their technical skills and their instruments of choice. What really matters is their ability to listen to each other. "If you'd make me describe this collective from the genre standpoint, I would choose 'fusion' since my favourite music is created not within genres but between them”.

This band supports LGBTQ+ rights

Hamza
by Lonker See

supported by 6 fans who also own “IV”

There is a lot of fun on Hamza, and some of their heaviest moments that I am aware of. In fact this feels heavier and heavier each time I listen to it. I only wish more of that was incorporated into the most mellow songs on here, which, unlike in other releases, don't hold onto energy as well. But hey, I'm being picky and there are only two of those and I rarely know what I'm talking about! This is Lonker See so you know it's worth it. rvss.eel
