about

There are bands and there are bands. Czech band Pretty Old Sound is definitely option no.2, which is much better option, if this makes any sense to you. Centered around its frontman, Dimitar Dimov, their combination of noise abstraction and rock'n'roll approach is really unique. While one ingredient is absolutely erasing any kind of rock cliche, second one is supporting it and thus creating another piece of puzzle into history and mythology of this now ancient genre. Pretty Old Sound's output can be compared to NY sound of no wave if instead of rock'n' roll rejection they decided to embrace it.

Last but not least, two amazing covers from Jacobites and country legend Leon Russel are taking original songs somewhere else, soaked in reverb and desolation, they create completely new listening experience. Dark, noisy, adventurous songs without any boundaries are perfect match for our label and we are more than happy to offer you this one.
