Finally we can tell you more about what we’ve been cooking up last year!
The album title is derived from the eponymous bronze statue made by Polish sculptor and painter Stanisław Szukalski back in 1965. It stands for renewal and inspiration – keywords that were essential to us while creating this album. In Szukalski’s work, every detail is a piece of art on its own and there’s always more to the story than you initially think. For us, this was the perfect analogy for the album: Each song stands on its own with a distinctive vibe and meaning, while together they enforce each other into what we believe is our most monumental effort.
Brace yourself for “Cross The Divide”, an up-tempo anthem that will hit you like a storm. Out tomorrow!
