Astigmatic Records  

Astigmatic Records is an independent vinyl label that aims to deliver music that perfectly fits the term "deep". With a strong focus on emotions and quality, both in terms of music and the final product, this label has no limits when it comes to genres. The name of Astigmatic Records is not random; they look at the world through the prism of music as the main stimulus, causing a completely different perception of reality.

EABS is a septet that began as a tribute to musical icons such as Ahmad Jamal, Gil Scott-Heron, Jay Dee, and Pete Rock. The band started with improvising musicians who came together for sessions and eventually expanded to include talented individuals from different styles and genres. With an innovative approach to jazz influenced by hip-hop, EABS blends elements of soul, funk, hip-hop, and electro while exploring and experimenting with composition. Their goal is to breathe new life into jazz and bring back its former glory.

Polish septet EABS apply an innovative approach to jazz, distilling it through the prism of hip-hop, blending it with elements of soul, funk and electronic music. Slavic Spirits was 2 years in the making and contains 100% original material. They are joined by 22a head-honcho Tenderlonious who lends his exceptional soprano saxophone and flute playing to all seven tracks.

After their very well-received 2017 debut album Repetitions (Letters to Krzysztof Komeda), focusing on the lesser-known works of the legendary Polish composer, the Wroclaw-based EABS decided to further expand this lead and released two more vinyl records, Live At Jazz Club Hipnoza (Katowice) and Kraksa / Svantetic, the latter recorded directly on tape and released via 22a, which crowned the Kom- eda triptych. The astounding reception of these releases built up loyal following outside of their native Poland and whet listeners’ appetite for completely new recordings. For this LP the musicians turned to Slavic mythology and Polish demonology, while pondering upon the contemporary spiritual condition of Poles. The enigmatic “Slavic melancholy” remains the main inspiration, as the band tried to extract it from their own DNA. Slavic Spirits is an endeavour to get in touch with the world of a long and brutally lost culture which, due to lack of sources, will never be thoroughly explored.
