Šimanský Štěpán – Z Druhé Strany MC

This new collaboration of Jakub Šimanský and Jiří Štěpán is sort of happy coincidence. They are both active musicians, both coming from different background and performing in within slightly different scenes. Jakub Šuminaský has been cultivating his guitar playing based on the echoes of american primitive guitar style. Bas player Jiří Štěpán is active in his group Národní Divadlo, which steer towards free improvised and dissonant music.
They both met at their day job for book publishing house Host. After being just colleagues from work for a couple years, they decided to jam and record their efforts and that's how their debut recording called “Z Druhé Strany” (From the Other Side) happened. Their music blends two different approaches to music, both of them inspires each other. Abstract dissonant wilderness here meets more prepared outsider psychedelic guitar, but this time Šimanský does not play it nic. This feels like long night on a lonely bus station with no bus to take you home in sight.
