Releases: [BRN034] We Draw A - Ghosts LP
On their second album, We Draw A are not interested in what is fashionable, and refuse to carry on with what defined their debut album. Ghosts features eight brand new songs that capture the band's essence and try to deal with the subject of death and an end which only leaves us with the eponymous ghosts.
This is still electronica, but it’s emotional, romantic, sometimes introverted. The term Romantic Techno came naturally some time during the band’s all-day rehearsals in a flat in Wrocław, where Radek Krzyżanowski was meeting with Piotrek Lewandowski, the vocalist and musician and the other half of We Draw A. And indeed #romantictechno perfectly fits the character of this music. All the more reason that the themes of the lyrics that Lewandowski touches – and let's make it turgid – are mutually dissolving death and love, common in Romanticism, as well as the division into the material and the spiritual.
After a year and a half of the release of their debut album Moments, We Draw A is at a different point in their musical journey. Critically acclaimed debut gained fans who discovered on the album something more than just electro pop. The musicians also played two big tours promoting this album and it was during the concerts that the music of We Draw A gained a new character. After a songlike beginning the duet was getting into trance, minute after minute getting deeper into it, to the delight of the audience.
When the musicians got back into the studio, they wanted to capture the vivid, improvised moments of their gigs, simultaneously with the assumption that they do not want to create something entirely new. This is why Ghosts is a continuation of Moments, but because it so progressive, the sophomore cannot be viewed as stagnate.
This album is something beyond fashion, it is not formatted or overwrought. It was classically recorded, it has its narration. It is us, and not a version of some Western artist, We Draw A concludes.
