With great pleasure we're announcing the new album by Krautrock tricksters Urlaub in Polen! Objects, Beings & Parrots is out January 23rd and the first single, Abacus, is out today. There's a stunning limited version available on orange vinyl (see last slide). 🍊
On this record, Georg Brenner and Jan Philipp Janzen (a founding member part of VON SPAR, initiator of Dumbo Tracks, current drummer of Die Sterne and more) are weaving finely crafted rhythmic repetitions with sonic experimentation.
You can hear the album’s decelerated genesis: after a lengthy writing phase, the tracks were recorded across multiple sessions at the secluded MARS Studio in Germany’s Eifel region. The result is a trippy, self-contained celebration of persistence—of pushing forward, without excluding moments of stillness, and with the occasional glance in the rear-view mirror.
