Michał Jan x Immortal Onion – Screens LP – U Know Me Records [UKM 103]

“After two very well-received albums, the Immortal Onion band still surprises. This time not only with their compositions, but also the arrangements, vivid sound of the saxophone, and the length of the album which ends sooner than you would want that. However, I am most excited, that they got out of their formula and invited Michał Jan on saxophone who perfectly complements the ideas of guys from the Immortal Onion. I’m looking forward to what will they bring in the future and in the meantime, I highly recommend “Screens” by Michał Jan & Immortal Onion.”

“The album called “Screens” is the result of joined forces of Michał Jan Ciesielski and Immortal Onion. Michał – the instrumentalist, composer, and producer is backed up by the youngest generation of the TriCity improvised music scene. The artistic results of their collaboration appear to be a mixture of nu-jazz, post-rock and modern electronic music but they also venture out exploring modern minimalism or even pop music. The indisputable strength of their music is intelligent, well-balanced combination of modern, post-jazz trends: simple yet intriguing compositions, tasteful “lo-fi” production, and last but not least pulsating energy consistently blowing up the disturbing, repetitive structures.”

“I don’t know how much the musicians from Immortal Onion were inspired by brilliant, recent releases of BadBadNotGood, but I can hear the similar level of awareness and sonic anxiety in their music. For sure I will discover more and more every time I’ll come back to this album. While listening to their music, you can immediately feel the bond they have and the teamwork – everyone on the album has his own moment, presenting their amazing skills but in the end, it all comes together as one, coherent creation”
