Blood & Milk
ABOUT
Rock guitars with unmistakable vocal and wind instruments that determine their original sound.
A multiform record with typical attributes and sound thanks to which you will recognize this band without any doubt even with one ear tied behind your back.
After the excellent initial record Amorous Fruit (Tamto, 1998), after definitely not bad second CD Hunting Season (Escape/Monitor EMI, 2001), continuous concerts without pompous breakups and starting their activity again, after long five years of intense waiting of their fans the third serial record of Brno Swordfishtrombones - Blood & Milk comes into the world.
Still the same SFT formation (Miloš Rejsek - vocal, Karel Krtička - guitar, Martin Zaplatílek - bass, Dan Petr - percussion, Alois Ponížil – French horn, trumpet), in which the band has been playing without change for nine years already, is unambiguously positive matter and you can tell it! The "floating" sixth member Chorche Hradil (keyboard), Dan Schwarz (trombone) and also the producer Dušan Neuwerth (guitar, keyboard) (Tata Bojs, Umakart, Nierika …) also played on the record among others. It was just Dušan Neuwerth who was, after the last little bit hollow and too manuscriptal experimenting of Colin Stuart on the album Hunting Season, the best decision that SFT made. Dušan Neuwerth managed to be non-stereotyped and throughout original and at the same time he still remained in the band services. In their sovereign territory they together managed to get the best on the album what SFT only foreshadowed on the first two records.
The band made a good use of its previous experience here, professional and human as well – literally, because the recording took the whole one year, and it may not go unnoticed that SFT finally walked through the imaginary studio mirror into unbelievable and magic lands here. Dynamic and at the same time by the spleen bar smoke-stained tone finally found common ground in such a manner that it gives us the shivers and at the same time the soul tingles with sheer happiness.
