Vteřiny, měsíce a roky
PRE-ORDER NOW
The album will be out on October 11, 2024
The legendary Czech folk-rock singer Vladimír Mišík is back with a new album, Vteřiny, měsíce a roky (Moments, Months and Years). The album is Mišík’s third collaboration with the producer Petr Ostrouchov and follows the prize-winning projects, Jednou tě potkám (Once, I Will Meet You; 2019) and Noční obraz (Night Image; 2021). The album is comprised of fifteen new songs, with lyrics by Vladimír Mišík and Michael Žantovský, songs based on poems by Jan Skácel, Jiří Dědeček and František Gellner, and one text tailored directly for Mišík by Tomáš Belko, a one-time fellow band-member of Ostrouchov in Sto zvířat. In the studio, Mišík surrounded himself by ten musicians, with the Blue Shadows quartet at the core, which also performed on the previous recordings, featuring Josef Štěpánek and Petr Ostrouchov on the guitar, Matěj Belko on the bass guitar and Martin Novák on the drums. The other players include pianist Jan Steinsdörfer and Hammond organist Ondřej Pivec (now living in the USA), who both were involved on the album Noční obraz as well, guitarist Lukáš Martinek, double bassist Tomáš Liška and two special international guests – the Cuban-American percussionist Michito Sanchez and the British performer on the pedal steel guitar B.J. Cole – who both have featured in projects of illustrious colleagues such as Sting, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Depeche Mode, Crosby, Stills and Nash, James Taylor, David Gilmour, R.E.M., Björk, Stevie Wonder, and others.
The physical album (CD and 2-LP) will be released with a comprehensive booklet containing studio session photos and the lyrics and, in a limited edition, also as a UD1S Ultradisc one-stop pressing double-vinyl (read more on the technology here)
