Bartosz Proszę państwa, KOMETA leciała i leciała i WYLĄDOWAŁA W POLSCE. Porównań drugiego albumu (muszę nadrobić pierwszą) Siema Ziemia do The Comet is Coming nie da się uniknąć. Transowy odlot jazzowo-elektroniczny kojarzy się jednoznacznie w ostatnich latach i nie ma w tym nic złego. Tradycja jest piękna a kosmos jest wielki. WINCYJ.

about

Siema Ziemia hail from Poland and come together as an electronic-inspired quartet, which draws an energy from collective improvisation. Their music attempts to recreate highly organized structures of electronic music with acoustic instruments.

The band has a reputation for genre-defying experimentation, fusing free jazz improvisation with breakbeat, IDM, and influences from underground music scenes. Inspired by the ephemerality and vulnerability of the world we inhabit, ‘Second’ meditates on our connection to nature and our loved ones through a collective approach to music-making that emphasizes improvisation and spontaneity.

With its forward-thinking approach to composition and performance, ‘Second’ represents a continuation of Siema Ziemia's innovative approach to music.

IN PRAISE OF 'SECOND'

MOJO Magazine: 4*.
"On first listen, you might conclude Siema Ziemia are an electronic band making querulous jazz fusions. Closer investigation finds the off-radar, all acoustic Polish outfit mastering their discreet craft above a buzzing hive of sax bees on Atlant, while making playful connections to nature on Get Exhausted With Me. Elsewhere 12 minute slow-release standout All Those Moments marries searching spirituality with distorted drones and dark ambience. A stunning return."

A Closer Listen: "The mutable nature of Siema Ziema’s music makes it appealing to multiple audiences. But their ability to emulate and imitate one genre through another makes them unique."

Truth and Lies Music: 8.5/10 "‘Second’ is a brave and uncompromising record for fearful times."

Jazzwise: "Today, the scope of Polish jazz is both broad and inclusive, embracing ambitious 'broad canvas' projects ... through to electronica and the post-Bugge Wesseltoft 'New Jazz' of Siema Ziemia's recent LP, Second."

Sarangi and tabla in jazz, what's not to love? It's a fantastic fusion of styles, it really works well. badgerworld

Kwasy i zasady

The first track is a bit of an outlier, perhaps connecting back to earlier albums where jazz foundations lead the way, before going all out berserk with the beats, beats, and beats. Bass and electronics are now the mainstays over the hip-hop influenced rhythms. But the horns are still layered back in with style. I initially passed this over, but the Szlam / Ścieki tracks blew my socks off and in desperation for more, I was led back to this. I can't wait to see where Błoto go next. rvss.eel
