Nie Gotujemy – The Dumplings

by

Follow this playlist:

You might not have heard of The Dumplings but they are the hottest thing in Polish Music right now, with their quirky, comfortable indie that is beyond pleasant and beyond delight to a space where you can let go into the shadows but always find your footing. Nie Gotujemy is quite possibly their most famous song released as a lead single for their album Sea You Later and album where you literally float abound on sound saves.

Nie Gotujemy approximately translates as ‘We don’t cook’ and the lyrics seem to speak of the imperfections millennials have but something about it just seems ok and the little bumps in the road are celebrating in this chilled out track. I’ve chosen this song to not only broaden horizons into Polish indie but to be the post-gig tune for the DJ where you can still move and groove but things are being slowed down. A friend of mine from Poland put this song on at a social night and everyone slowed down their dancing and really felt engaged in the floating of the song. This is a song for a start of the comedown to lead you down the garden path to slowly release that excess adrenaline after a heavy night out.

There’s something about metronomic repetition that just conveys the idea of “Come on – let’s go…”  The opening of the track sounds as though it’s written in 2/4 time – the classic marching beat – and that was intentional – the entire first minute is designed to have you thinking about getting started – getting moving – getting to flow.

Creatively – Katy Forkings

19 September 2017

As part of our role as curators we get a variety of submissions from people wanting their tracks on our playlists and it takes something special to pique my interest for the come down. I was excited to hear this track come through from Katy Forkings, a song about the creative process, which frankly is written enough about.

Black & Blue – Samantha Whates

5 September 2017

I first came across Samantha Whates when she performed as a backup singer for Jess Bryant at the union chapel when I played there many moons go. I was intrigued by her voice and decided to check out her own material and this track ‘Black & Blue’ stood out for me with its lush guitar part, a bit of glockenspiel and strings, you know I love those strings.
