The Wroclaw band Slina returns with their third studio album, this time recorded with Mikolaj Trzaska. This is not the album of Trzaska + Slina or Slina + Trzaska. This is Slina Trzaska (a kind of wordplay in polish, means: The saliva cracks). A kind of full, new band that was created in the outstanding Sudeten studio Monochrom and is sometimes continued live. Free improvisations and Krautrock motility are still the hallmark of Slina, but the organic, radical sound of Mikolaj Trzaska"s saxophone and clarinet gives this music a completely new character. From silence and delicacy of ambient to hurricane and violence, full of nuances, interfering motifs associated with Jewish music, it sounds as if the musicians already knew each other from the sandbox, even if they lived in other cities. There are 4 tracks on the album, traditionally titled as their lengths.
The vinyl version, which will not be released until January 2023, is a 20-inch (!) Hybrid: a 180-gram black 12-inch, traditionally pressed, and an equally black 8-inch cut by Uncle Gusstaff in Studio im. Witolda Gombrowicza in Zielona Góra. The first 66 numbered pieces will be 8-inch on thick vinyl (such as a 180-gram 12-inch).
