Electric Madness

About the album

“The author does not let the opening piece Cluster Headache swing simply and naturally; instead he gleefully tears it apart rhythmically and laces it with a riff-driven jazz-rock aesthetic,” wrote Tomáš S. Polívka about the album in UNI magazine. He praised the versatility with which Šimek moves between moods and the dominance of massive, effects-laden instruments.

The album of eight original compositions also features keyboardist Martin Brunner, bassists Rastislav Uhrík and Jan Jakubec, and Daniel Šoltis on drums.
