Band
“Korbowód” is the Polish word for “crankshaft”. The crankshaft is the mechanism by which the explosions of an engine are converted to useful rotational power. Korbowód, the Polish band from the industrial reaches of southern Poland, convert their primal creativity into powerful, original, trippy psychedelic music.
Originally hailing from Myslowice, Poland, Korbowód first began its musical career not long after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1991. The band members created a fusion of alternative, psychedelic rock, trance-like rhythms and dubby, yet ambient electronica. Their music proved to be a successful recipe for a new sound that had previously never been heard in the Eastern Bloc. The band has released three albums to date: “Back To The Funny Farm” in 1997, “Home” in 2000, “Strona C” in 2005.
Constantly evolving their unique and creative sound, Korbowód has recently collaborated with the talented Irish singer David O’Sullivan to add lyrical grit and depth to their already profound sound. With English language vocalists on their highly anticipated new album, “Monochromatic,” the band has found itself opening doors to a new untapped audience.
