With Just A Hint Of Mayhem

Polish artist and musician Przemysław Tymiński records under the name poto&aby and he has just put out a single called “Where The Music Comes From”. It is a deeply reflective and melancholy piece of music. There is a repeated lyric line which for me does suggest sources that might inspire where music arises from, “The first stars at dusk, the rustle of distant railway tracks“. What do you think? The lyrics apparently come from fragments of a novel started 20 years ago by Przemysław. There is a dark tone to the music with some element of ‘Low’ period David Bowie, particularly in the saxophone sound. The vocals are rather good too.

He released his debut album 12 years ago in 2012. It was called ‘Football Won’t Save The World’. The original Polish title was ‘Futbol nie zbawi świata’ and it was described at the time as “a kind of philosophical acoustic punk” and there is definitely the spirit of punk in the new track. “Where The Music Comes From” is the first release from the third poto&aby album, “The Window Of His Room” which will be out later this year. The video is simple and old school and brings together footage shot in 2006 when Przemysław was testing a new video camera. poto&aby is an intriguing and talented artist and I am looking forward to the new album!
