“Ksiezyc”
2017 repress of the classic 1996 debut recording by Polish outfit Ksiezyc (Moon).
Penultimate Press is proud to re-issue the defining statement by Polish outfit Ksiezyc (Moon). Ksiezyc was a project from Poland, active in the 1990s.
Members included Agata Harz (vocals), Katarzyna Smoluk (vocals, piano), Robert Nizi ski (wind instruments, keyboards), Lechos aw Polak (accordion, keyboards, synthesizers) and Remigiusz Mazur-Hanaj (lyrics, tapes). 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 Mazur-Hanaj) 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. Limited to 500 copies.
