Music for Adventure

The One-Man-Lute-Circus is back in town with his second full-length album ‘Music for Adventure’ - and that’s really what it is. Bored with guitars but far from finished with acoustic music, the modern minstrel ‘tkalec’ returns with his trusty Renaissance lute and 10 fresh songs that crank up the notch for songwriting and poetry ever so slightly: There’s trenchant tales and reflections about materialism ('Troll'), capitalism ('Obsolescence'), dualism ('Detective Perspective') and other isms a-plenty (there’s even some Taoism in there ('Mason')), all in carefully chosen, handcrafted organic words and free-range rhymes, we got beautiful and eerie pictures entwined in expressive lyrical miniatures and tastefully seasoned 5-star lute-playing ('Down', 'The Fields of Rye'), we’ve got the personal stories and the emotional spice ('Jade?', 'Tales'), ladies and gentlemen, this album has it all. And while the fearful are of course repelled even by the seeming impossibility of pronouncing the man’s name alone, we know that the adventurous will revel at the sights and sounds of this LP with a joy entirely unbefitting of a piece of plastic. Alas, at least there’s only 200 of them…
