keen-eared

at the beginning i wasn`t the only person who received a completly wrong impression by the delusive voice of following band. at first view 8 of 10 people would identify the lead singer as a woman by mistake. i´m sure. that´s all about hatifnats, an upcoming shoegaze-dreampop trio from warsaw. by observing their first vocals you will useless looking for a female person on stage. anyway, you won`t find none. on stage: absolute guy`s night. perplexing but true. so much for that. this kind of phonetic charakteristic made these three polish musicians completely unique in a sense with an own artistic vision. they self-described them "closer to a romantic ideal of music which should be enjoyed consciously and seriously".

so, on january 15th i had the chance to listen to one of their still rare germany performances. it took place at gloria (i`ve already mentioned this delightful club inclusive the tireless S|U|B|L|I|M|E evenings here). memorable was the intro-begining of "towards the sunset", which they drag on a little. lead singer michal pydo fascinated the audience with his circular movements on his guitar. it rang very cabalistic. epic interweaved in some way. nearly meditative. dreamlike. also memorable the ending of their regular set. "before it is to late", the title track, overreached ceremonial with conclusion. what intenseness! i guess they played all audiolicious songs from their debut. as additional encore the formidable track "horses from shelville" was powerful repeated for 2nd time. good on you!
