This is a really good album. Unfortunately it is in polish and most of the people will have no chance to understand it.

Finally listened to this album

WOW !! Powerful vocals and the instrumentation is sometimes reminiscent of Newsom.

It's a pity I don't understand Polish, because some of the translations I have read for the poetic lyrics are stunning.

Here's one of my favorite tracks "Taki pejzaz" ("Such A Landscape") :

And the lyrics :

Lame dogs adorn the roads
Devil tangles girls' legs
Birds blacken the flowers of trees
The dreams are being trampled by cadavers

Such a landscape
Such a landscape..!

Rarely will the criminal weep with tears
Blind beggar will find work
Barefoot knight (will find his) laurel

Such a landscape
Such a landscape

Winds sow crippled pines
Useless although genuine

A fool will smooth them into a song
(he will) feed them with dreams
(he will) betray the star
There will be landscape
melodic maudlin

Such a landscape
Such a landscape...
