One Two

A bit of time has passed, but after three years, Skarby are dancing their way back with their second album. "Raz Dwa" comprises twelve tracks that evoke a breath of spring—like the lush house beats of "Nektar" or the warm nostalgia of "Rewolta."

Hip-hop influences resonate through Skarby's signature old-school sampling on the album's opening track, "Próba mikrofonu" (Microphone Test), and the funk-electronic "Świetle" featuring Gverilla. There are nods to Polish classics in the form of a synthwave reinterpretation of Siekiera's iconic "Nowa Aleksandria" (featuring the charismatic vocals of the young Sir Bufoo). "Rozbłysk" is a magical journey into space featuring the incomparable Grzegorz Lalek, who delivers a solo in the coda that answers the question, "What if Jimi Hendrix played the violin?" A looped Jerzy Milian sample that opens "Gdybym Mogła" creates a hypnotic texture that slowly dissolves under a layer of dozens of effects before welcoming an explosion of breakbeats and euphoric piano. Finally, the hypnotic sound of the felt piano, along with Patryk Rogoziński's cello and Luna Škopelja's vocals, takes us far from the Vistula River in the album's most tranquil moment, "Sztuka Palenia Mostów," into the land of frosty tundra, before immediately reversing the atmosphere with the tropical title track, "Raz Dwa." An album for every season.
