Gaps

Description

The album 'Gaps,' recorded in November 2023, is the culmination of two years of work that merges classic post-punk Guide with a rich electronic influence. On 'Gaps,' RZWD aims to create dance noise club music on their own terms, pushing the boundaries of what a live band can be. Most of the tracks were created during RZWD concerts in countries like Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Estonia. These experiences and ideas were incorporated into this album between November 2023 and May 2024. The live recordings in Szczecin were done by Adam Soltysiak, while other recordings and productions took place in Torun under the direction of swrcfx. The central idea behind 'Gaps' was to use the developed themes as a starting point for further variations and explorations within dance noise club music. This time, the instrumentation includes basses and an ever-expanding and mutating modulation layer. The album therefore contains four new compositions as well as four remixes of tracks from previous albums. The album also features guest appearances from: Danielius Pancerovas from the Lithuanian band Kanalizacjia, who adds a saxophone touch to the track Diesel, and Krzysztof Freeze Ostrowski – a renowned Polish electronic musician and producer, who brings a fresh sonic perspective to the European track of the DMO PE. Among the multidimensional concepts that blend environments, genres, styles, and techniques on 'Gaps,' the search for a synthesis of acoustic and electronic sounds stands out. RZWD creates a space where the boundaries between these areas blur and lose their meaning. The result is a groovy, noisy blend of dance music styles such as rave, techno, house, and footwork, played beyond rigid tempo measures and DAW limitations, relying on natural abilities and intuition. It's a soundtrack that works best as a backdrop for movement, whether coordinated or not.
