In exactly a month, on November 4th, Gaba will release, “Wersje” (Versions), her first solo album since the gold-certified “Hat, Rabbit” in 2009. The album encapsules her evolution as an artist: It sets out to be both a look back on what she has accomplished so far, and a bold update to her sound, pointig towards a different musical future.
“Wersje” also bears an innovative approach towards music production : recorded infront of a live audience, but mixed pronouncedly like a studio album, meddling with the sound and texture of the songs, anything but a classic “in concert” recording. It was co-produced with Marcin Bors (responsible for, among others, latest Hey and Nosowska albums).
It spans 18 songs, and features never before recorded arrangements of Gaba’s songs off her two solo albums, and beyond, with covers of Bauhaus, Republika, The Beastie Boys and Hanka Ordonówna. The album was recorded with long-standning collaborators Robert Rasz (drums), Wacław Zimpel (clarinets) and Wojtek Traczyk (bass).
