Urlaub In Polen - Objects, Beings & Parrots LP

Please keep moving, please don't stop here! Even more than two decades after their formation, Urlaub in Polen continue to celebrate an aesthetic of transience—an experience bounded by time, poured into the project’s very name—set against a continuous flow of new impressions and a suitcase slowly filling with memorabilia. After a longer hiatus, their 2020 album All marked a return with a warped take on krautrock, a direction which their new release Objects, Beings and Parrots both follows and expands upon. In true eclectic tradition, it ventures further into diverse genre territories—always exploratory, yet never losing its thread. Multi-instrumentalist Georg Brenner and drummer Jan Philipp Janzen blaze a trail through a dense web of references (see also the cover collage merging tile selections, retro interior suggestions, and archaeology textbook cutouts), evoking a warm feeling of being taken along for the ride—even as the band refuses to be pinned down to any clear musical category.
