Bruno Schulz is an alternative rock band founded in 2003 Kielce, Poland, currently residing in Łódź. Since the release of their debut album Ekspresje, Depresje, Euforie and a success of promotional single - Gdy Więdną Kwiaty in 2007, Bruno Schulz have remained one of the most recognisable polish artist that do not belong to any major label. Their psychedelic, disquieting sound along with the very energetic, atypical drumming in the foreground, a harsh delayed guitar sound, clear, audible basslines, and vocals, seething with emotions, enriched with surrealistic lyrics made the band a very distinctive point on the Polish alternative scene.
The name of the band is a reference to Bruno Schulz, a Polish writer regarded as the greatest Polish-language prose stylist of the 20th century. Leader of the band, Karol, describes this choice of name as a tribute to the specific atmosphere of the poet's prose. The poet is regarded as a major influence of the band as in many of the songs there is a dose of interwar poet's works oneirism perceptible.
Bruno Schulz have released four critically aclaimed albums so far, with slightly different sound and type of lyrical vulnerability on each. Their first album has been announced one of the best albums of 2007 by a Polish acclaimed music magazine. The band have also participated in many radio broadcasts and played a gig during Heineken Open'er Festival in 2007.
The band consists of:
Karol Stolarek - vocals, synthesizers
Marcin Regucki - guitar
Wit Zarębski - bass
Wojtek Czyszczoń - drums, percussion
