  Album review

  What happens when a jazz quartet starts thinking like an electronic producer? On Grzyby, Polish collective Błoto, formed by musicians from EABS, pushes its improvisational instincts into darker, more hypnotic territory. Heavy basslines, broken beats, restless synthesizers and occasional saxophone passages create music that feels simultaneously organic and machine-driven. The opening “Wrośniak” establishes a murky rhythmic atmosphere, while “Chaga” introduces a more meditative jazz sensibility. The nearly ten-minute closer, “Pleśniak,” is the record’s centrepiece: a repetitive, gradually evolving groove that approaches minimalist club music without abandoning the spontaneity of live performance. More focused than its predecessor Grzybnia, this is contemporary European jazz at its most rhythmically adventurous.

  Depois de 3 anos sem novidades, os Bloto regressaram em força com o lançamento de um LP "Grzybnia", vários singles e este EP "Grzyby" cujo título significa "Cogumelos". A versão em cd contém 3 temas dos singles anteriores. Os fãs e colecionadores esgotaram rapidamente todas as cópias em apenas 6 meses. Um recorde de vendas para a Astigmatic Records (apenas consegui comprar o single Bakteria). Em termos musicais os Bloto continuam a explorar a fronteira entre o jazz e a eletrónica mas desta vez com um pendor maior para esta segunda. Temas favoritos: Maczużnik, Soplówka, Szlam.
