COLD COLD NIGHTS

Michal Pařízek, editor in chief of Full Moon Magazine, nominated the band Cold Cold Nights:
“Cold Cold Nights released a great record, which should be the basis when someone tries to recommend the band or to work with them further. Moreover, they are skilled musicians, they are performing a lot and they are able to perform anywhere. I attend many showcases regularly so I think I can tell what is interesting and what has potential. They represent exactly what young people are currently interested in – more complicated indie music with a detached view that is also stepping out of the genre here and there. They definitely have a chance.”

Formerly an indie folk songwriter, J grew up in Switzerland and the topics of home and travelling were always prominent in his music. He can also speak candidly about relationships and emotions. He writes his lyrics in English and in Czech, but that is not the only reason why his music could attract foreign audience. He has already performed abroad multiple times as a solo artist as well as with his band. He travelled through Europe as well as USA where he went on tour with the band Hey!Rabbit. This year Cold Cold Nights released their debut record (The) Last Summer. They consider the record to represent a testimony of their generation, which offers a lot of possibilities but at the same time also a great deal of responsibility and destabilization of values. The experienced Joe Lambert who has worked with groups such as The National or Animal Collective did the mastering of the record. The music production of Cold Cold Nights combines the influences of indie folk as well as post-rock and it is full of experiments and instrumentation. Besides the classics like guitar and drums, you can also hear for example chimes and trombone.
