KSIEZYC

Second pressing, white vinyl. Finally here, this hard to classify outstanding Polish LP (meaning ‘Moon’) a remarkable and at times extremely thought provoking fusion of modern classical and medieval sensibilities, combining piano, flute, and unique fairy tale inspired vocal experiments written by Remigiusz Mazur-Hanaj. Absolutely timeless and criminally unknown, even in underground music circles. Penultimate Press is proud to re­issue the defining statement by Polish outfit Ksiezyc (Moon). The spirit of Ksiezyc captures early and late music with a medieval sound, rooted in Slavic tradition combined with elements of minimalism and vocal experiments of the 20th Century. The alchemy of these constituent parts results in a breathtaking original music, both delicate and sinister. The surreal fairy tale inspired lyrics (written by Remigiusz Mazur­Hanaj) add to the inherent beauty, sadness and madness within. Originally released on 10" vinyl on Obuh records this has been remastered by Piotr Nykiel at Nykiel Audio and cut on 12" allowing for vastly improved sound quality. An elegant reworking of the artwork introduces lyrics including English translations for the first time. 'Ksiezyc' comes in a beautiful gatefold with printed inner sleeve.
