Tajemnica is a transgression -- too gentle for dancing, too euphoric for standing still. Sparse, scarce, and subtle, the new album by Polish performance artist, musician, and poet Wojciech Kosma, aka spalarnia, eagerly explores modern dance genres, experimental production, and nostalgic electronics to surrender to what is truest -- essential song forms, melodies, harmonic and rhythmic basics, the most resonant feelings. Sung in spalarnia's trademark soft, low, almost tactile voice, the eight hypnotic songs tell stories of closeness and love, and their favored companions -- pain and heartbreak. In "Bliżej" he sings "I love not loving you/I want to be a part of you." And in "Jedyna" he states: "You are the only one/there is no other me/only the one for whom you are the only one." Contrary to the meaning of its Polish title ("Tajemnica" translates to "secret"), the album that moves between ghostly ambient pop, languid RnB, and Eastern European folk doesn't reveal anything outright -- the music only points to where the secrets might lie. One can choose whether to hear them or not.
