Welcome to Neurasja, the eponymous debut album of four musician friends: Asja on vocals, Karol Czajkowski on guitar, Wojtek Traczyk on bass, and Hubert Zemler on drums. It's a classic rock set-up, spiced up by just enough electronica. Beautifully melancholic, touching, amazing sounding melodies combine a rough, narcotic feeling with the crystal clear, moving voice of Asja.
Born in Warsaw, Asja mesmerizes with her voice and her lyrics. Karol Czajkowski is a guitarist, producer, and a music aficionado. Together they create unique music, complete with blues emotion, ethnic touches and a rock edge. Their pieces are beautiful and sad, but also exceptional and original, filled with inner Slavonic melancholy. Since Wojtek Traczyk and Hubert Zemler joined the crew, the songs have become much more feisty, rough, and alternative-sounding.
Asja and Karol previously collaborated as part of Alamut, a project exploring mainly world music. Never content with simply re-enacting traditional styles, they stayed true to their individual, emotional approach to the sources, letting trance and free jazz inspirations take them to pastures new. Following subsequent changes in the band, they stayed on the path to improvisation and sound theatre. After years of those experiences, they felt a need to go back to electric instruments and combine, in songs, their different musical fascinations: British triphop, American blues, and Polish big beat. And even though they sound very modern, the songs still retain elements of previous experiences: improvisation, ethnic harmonies, and a distinct atmosphere, most obvious in concerts when every note pulls listeners more into an unearthly fairytale.
It's difficult to put a label on the music played by Neurasja. Original, alternative rock songs, with sad, feminine lyrics in Polish. The 60s/70s sound is an invitation to experiment and improvise. Every note matters, as does the gradually built-up tension between the musicians. The songs sometimes take melodies, scales or rhythms from ethnic music, but that's just one of the inspirations alongside blues, rock, psychedelia, or minimal music.
In concerts, long spellbinding pieces are mixed up with shorter songs. Tribal drums, deep, vibrating bass, jazz-blues guitar, psychedelic vibraphone and piercing, suggestive vocals build a fairytale world.
