Информация о артисте

Myslovitz — польская рок-группа образована в 1992 в городе Мысловице. Название группы — это немецкое название данного города.

Артур Ройек образовал группу в 1992 году. Она завоевала несколько призов на фестивалях, после чего группа подписала контракт с издательством MJM Music Polska. В 1995 году группа выпустила альбом Myslovitz, хорошо принятый критиками. Продюсером был Ян Гаррис, ранее известный по сотрудничеству с такими музыкальными группами, как Joy Division, New Order и The Exploited. В 1996 году 'Myslovitz' выпустил свой второй альбом — Sun Machine с Кавер-версией другой мысловецкой группы. Эта песенка называлась Peggy Brown, на слова ирландского национального барда, Турлоуга О'Кароляна, которые на польский перевёл известный поэт Эрнест Брыль. Это одна из самых известных песен данной группы до сих пор, также одна из самых популярных польских рок-песен.

В 1997 году 'Myslovitz' выпустили третий альбом, Z rozmyślań przy śniadaniu. В 1998 году они записали песню To nie był film для фильма Młode wilki ½. Брутальный текст относился к преступником и их бегству с места убийства. Песня была воспринята неоднозночно и бойкотировалась. В 1999 году большой успех группе принёс альбом Miłość w czasach popkultury. Сингл Długość dźwięku samotności стал самой известной песней группы. В 2000 году группа записала песенку для фильма Duże zwierzę с Ежим Штуром и Анной Дымной. В 2003 группа записала также песенку для фильма Штура Pogoda na jutro. В том же фильме группа "исполняла роль" ансамбля монахов в монастере.

После большого коммерческого успеха альбома Miłość w czasach popkultury никто не думал, что альбом Korova Milky Bar 2002 года будет пользоваться такой же популярностью, однако и он очень хорошо продавался. В 2003 году ансамбль выпустил ангийскою версию этого альбома. Интересно, что видеоклип к нему снял двукратный лауреат премии Оскар - кинооператор Януш Каминьский, который описал себя как фана Myslovitz. В 2005 году коллектив получил приз Европейской комиссии за альбом Korova Milky Bar — лидер продаж в 10 новых странах Евросоюза. В 2003 году группа выпустила альбом с лучшими песнями. Его открывал сингл Kraków, где вместе с Ройеком пел Марек Грехута. Коллектив много концертовал в Европе, в частности как "поддержка" Игги Попа.

В 2004 году группа выпустила альбом Skalary, mieczyki, neonki, в 2006 — Happiness Is Easy.

23 мая 2007 группа объявила, что в 2008 году планирует отдохнуть от концертов, а свободное время музыканты проведут со своими семьями. Группа возобновила свою концертную деятельность в Торуни, 28 декабря 2008 года.
27 февраля 2009 года группа выпустила двухдисковое переиздание пластинки 1999 года Miłość w czasach popkultury - на первом диске был оригинальный альбом 1999 года, а на другом - демо песен того же альбома.
30 октября 2009 была опубликована первая биография группы под названием "Myslovitz. Życie to surfing" за авторством журналиста Лешека Гноиньского.
8 апреля группа объявила о записи нового альбома. В начале 2010 года они записали демо-диск.
31 мая 2011 вышел альбом Nieważne jak wysoko jesteśmy... В его поддержку был выпущен сингл "Ukryte", который появился в эфире радиостанций 28 марта 2011 года.

20 апреля 2012 Артур Ройек заявил об уходе из группы. Войцех Повага, Яцек Кудерски, Войцех Кудерски и Пшемыслав Мышор продолжат выступать как Myslovitz с новым вокалистом Михалом Ковалёнком. В свою очередь, Артур Ройек объявил о начале сольной карьеры.
В декабре 2012 года группа выпустила первую песню с Михалом Ковалёнком - "Trzy sny o tym samym".
28 мая 2013 года состоялась премьера нового альбома группы под названием "1577".

Myslovitz is a Polish Alternative rock band, whose music incorporates elements of College rock, Shoegazing, and - arguably - Britpop (Artur Rojek used to admit Suede influence), with a dose of melancholy. Although often dubbed "the Polish Radiohead" by critics, their music is actually more reminiscient of Coldplay and Travis or early Radiohead. From 2003, EMI Records has been attempting to establish them internationally, with considerable support from MTV Europe. As of 2005, Myslovitz are rated as the most popular Polish act abroad. The band take their name from their industrial hometown of Mysłowice in Upper Silesia (Southern Poland).

Guitarist and vocalist Artur Rojek (born 1972) started the band in 1992 as "The Freshmen", taking the initial name from the movie The Freshman starring Marlon Brando - which indicates a fascination with cinema that would become a characteristic feature throughout the band's career. The early phase was characterised by a somewhat debonair punk attitude, as Rojek admits: "I started Myslovitz in 1992. I was twenty then and I had no idea how to make good music. Surely, I was a big fan of a few British groups (Ride, The Stone Roses, My Bloody Valentine, The Housemartins) but I couldn't play the guitar at all. After several months of rehearsals [...] I decided that I should cover the holes in my musical education by [...] chaos (the bigger the better)." [1].

Even so, they soon caught the media's attention, winning several important competitions for young musicians; this enabled them to make their first professional recordings in the studio of Radio Lodz. In 1994, Myslovitz were signed by MJM Music Polska and recorded their self-titled debut album with British producer Ian Harris, who had previously worked for, amongst others, Joy Division, New Order, and The Exploited. Upon its release in 1995, the album received euphoric reviews and was declared "Debut of the Year" by several music magazines. Some critics compared it to Oasis, who were at the peak of their popularity at that time.

In 1996, Myslovitz were joined by a third guitarist and keyboarder, Przemek Myszor, and released the second album Sun Machine on Sony Music Polska. The album spawned two somewhat beatlesque airplay hits - Z twarzą Marilyn Monroe ("With the Face of Marilyn Monroe") and Peggy Brown, the latter being a cover version of a fellow Mysłowice rock band, with lyrics originally by the Irish "national bard" Turlough O'Carolan (in a translation by the Polish lyricist and translator Ernest Bryll).

The following year, the third album Z rozmyślań przy śniadaniu ("From meditiations over breakfast") was released, displaying a tendency towards a more "polished" sound and more introspective lyrics. Also, Myslovitz's now typical fascination with cinema began to take centre stage with numerous allusions and hints in the lyrics and track titles, and a certain "cinematic" atmosphere in the music itself.

The band's interest in cinema also showed in their contributions to soundtracks. In 1998, they recorded the unconventional track To nie był film ("That was no film") for the Polish movie Młode wilki ½ ("Young Wolves ½"). The lyrics referred to a wave of violent crimes committed by juvenile delinquents, which was controversially discussed in Polish mass media in the mid-1990's. The explicit depiction of violence in the lyrics and the accompanying video clip (which later won a Fryderyk award as "Video of the Year") caused further controversy and led Polish broadcasting networks to boycott both the song and the clip.

Also in 1998, Myslovitz had their first appearances abroad with gigs in Sweden, Germany, and the United States.

The final breakthrough for the band came in 1999 with their fourth album entitled Miłość w czasach popkultury ("Love in The Time of Pop Culture"), which went platinum (i.e. 150,000 copies sold) soon and has by now achieved "double platinum" status in Poland. The single Długość dzwięku samotności ("The Length of the Solitude Sound") became the biggest hit for the band so far.

In 2000 Myslovitz again contributed to soundtracks, writing and recording the song Polowanie na wielblada ("Camel Hunting") for the movie Duże zwierzę ("The Big Animal") by the legendary Polish actor and director Jerzy Stuhr, and the single plus another two (previosly unreleased) tracks to director Waldemar Szarek's movie "That's Us" (To my). In 2003 Myslovitz continued their cooperation with Stuhr, creating not only the title song for his movie "Tomorrow's Weather", but also appearing in walk-on roles - as neophyte monks.

In 2002, the follow-up to Miłość..., entitled Korova Milky Bar appeared; the title being an allusion to Stanley Kubrick's classic screen version of Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange. Strikingly, the melancholic elements took over almost completely, with both music and (sometimes sarcastic) lyrics creating an almost depressive overall mood. Nonethelss, the album sold even more copies than its predecessor had in the same time, with the singles Acidland and Sprzedawcy marzeń ("Dreamsellers") repeating the success of Długość... three years earlier.

The reason for the new material's popularity, as some critics surmised, was that its atmosphere closely conformed to a presumed resignative-recessive mood within Polish society at large - which guitarist Przemek Myszor seemed to confirm in an interview for the Montreal Mirror: "For us, the Korova Milky Bar [from Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange'] is a place where something different may happen to your mind. It's a place like today’s Poland. You know, Poland is a place where very strange things happen to your mind. It's a country full of crisis and everything around you is very sad, very dark, very fucked. There is an economic crisis here. People don't have money, politics are fucked. The lyrics on our record are sad because of this. We sing a lot about being in a strange state of mind" [2].

With Korova Milky Bar, Myslovitz appeared at several festivals throughout Europe, including the big, traditional German festival for Alternative acts (Bizarre) and the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival. Also, they supported Iggy Pop and the Simple Minds on their European tours that year. Also, they received an MTV Europe Music Awards in Barcelona for Best Polish Act, having been nominated twice in previous years.

In November 2002 Myslovitz signed a new contract with EMI's Polish outlet Pomaton. The first album to be released on the new label was an English-language re-recording of Korova Milky Bar, which war released in 27 countries (including Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Spain, Russia, Turkey and South Africa). In addition to the Korova... material, this version also included English versions of older tracks. Długość dzwięku samotności now became a single as The Sound of Solitude (an earlier English version had somewhat awkwardly but more correctly entitled The Length of The Solitude Sound had been a Polish b-side). A video clip for this song was directed Janusz Kaminski, the Polish Hollywood cinematographer who had won Academy Awards for Best Cinematography with Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, and had declined an offer from Martin Scorsese in order to work with Myslovitz. Kaminski declares himself a "fan" of Myslovitz, saying "I only work for Spielberg and Myslovitz [...] Money is not a factor in this. What one doesn't do for one's idols!" [3] The clip got frequent plays on MTV Europe and the album received positive reviews in the European music press, particularly in Germany. However, radio airplay was sporadic and largely limited to Alternative programmes (such as John Peel in the UK), as a consequence, Myslovitz so far failed to enter the upper reaches of the charts outside Poland.

Also in 2003, Myslovitz performed with Travis and Skin (of Skunk Anansie fame) on The Road to Edinburgh, where they received another MTV Europe Music Award for Best Polish Act.

The same year, Sony Music domestically released an obligatory end-of-contract compilation album, entitled The Best of. The lead single Kraków was an older song re-recorded with 1970s Polish folk rock stars Marek Grechuta and Anawa.

In the summer of 2004 Myslovitz were touring Europe again, starting with a concert for the German public radio and television broadcaster WDR on the eve of EU enlargement. Apart from headlining smaller venues and playing festival slots (including the largest Swiss open air event in St. Gallen, they again opened for Iggy Pop & The Stooges on their European dates, as well as for The Corrs in the UK and mainland Europe.

In December 2004, EMI released Myslovitz's most recent album entitled Skalary, mieczyki, neonki ("Angelfish, swordtails, neon tetras") - an out-of-schedule release with outtakes from the Korova Milky Bar recording sessions; longish, psychedelic-experimental and mostly instrumental soundscapes with an utterly melancholic mood to them. On Skalary..., Myslovitz appear about as close to the Radiohead reference as they are likely to get; there are also some tangible similarities with Pink Floyd.

At the time, the band had finished recording of their new album "Happiness is easy", which is planned to appear on 12 May 2006. The album will include 13 new songs and the first single promoting it is "Mieć czy być" ("To have or to be"), inspired by the book of the same title by Erich Fromm.

Myslovitz's success arguably contributed to a revitalisation of the Polish alternative rock scene in the late 1990's and early 2000's, which spawned bands such as eM, Kombajn do zbierania kur po wioskach, and Lili Marlene.
