About the band
"There ́s a story written under my skin", whispers Veronika Zemanová in a velvety sharp voice in the last song of the new album Kalle Under the Black Moss, accompanied as usual by David Zeman on guitar with minimalistic precision. These are emblematic words for the current record, because listening to it
you really get the feeling that its tones are burrowing like snake bites deep under your skin. Instead of annoyance, however, there is a delicious sense of catharsis at the end of the record, which constantly flashes through the record along with energetic doses of chilling tension.
The third album in a row by this authorial (and nowadays married) duo is probably the darkest in its mood. Still, throughout
their discography, it shines the brightest, because it is in the darkness that we see the light most intensely, which Kalle does with sovereign certainty in his increasingly hypnotic songs. Once again, through their ambient magical sound, we are transported into a mysterious world of red lakes, mysterious forest walks, and unexpectedly
dystopian scenes that perhaps ooze the anxiety of our times. A cool concentration hovers over it all, paradoxically not lacking a strong atmospheric passion. For if David is water, Veronica is fire. The symbiosis of these elements is then in this
musical fusion is something quite unique in our context. But the musical duo is only naturally continuing what they set out to do years ago. Ever since their debut Live From The Room (2014)
has enriched the contemporary scene with a peculiar intimacy and an uncompromising inner world, from which flows a natural desire to do things their own way. What's more, Kalle have long been more than just a band. Much more a blood bond for whom music has become a sacred ceremony, as they confirm at every concert.
