This Brno group’s album was created during the summer and autumn of 2016. Budoár staré dámy (Old Lady’s Boudoir) recorded it in the Indies studio with Broněk Šmid.
The lyrics reveal greater insight and perspective; they are not so drowned in tears, looking rather at the world about them than into themselves. Aside from the singer Marta Kovářová’s own lyrics the album also puts to music lyrics by the poet Karel Šiktanc, Lubor Kasal and the artist Paul Klee. “Songs don’t have a chance to come into being – if I am alone at home with my guitar. Now there will always be someone home! I’m no longer single and I have two kids. I compose silently, in my head, on train journeys, when feeding, before they wake and so they will sleep. The setting is not Brno, but the village in a frozen hollow. And where are my fertile anxieties? Lost in joy. So thanks – they tell me. But don’t write about that. So I rather sing a recipe for chicken. And I put less salt on it. That’s what I have left,” adds the composer of the songs, the singer and guitarist Marta Kovářová.
The album was recorded in the line-up of Marta Kovářová (vocals, guitar and ukulele), Ladislav Šiška (drums, percussion, melodica and bells), Tomáš Ergens (bass guitar), and Marek Laudát (guitar and vocals).
The Album is being released today by Indies Scope. The Brno christening of the CD Sůl (Salt) will take place 3 May 2017.
