With Nagle Przejasnienia, Tuleje present their third album-and a clear artistic shift. Drawing on folk traditions from eastern Greater Poland, the trio creates a distinctive sound that blends folk with jazz, blues and free improvisation. A key change is the prominent use of bass guitar, replacing the double bass as the sonic foundation and giving the music a raw, urban edge. The songs unfold as detached urban observations -- fragmented stories set in stairwells, metro stations and night buses, forming a vivid sonic map of contemporary city life. Featuring Maurycy Wojcinski.

The band Tuleje consists of Gosia Zagajewska, Ksawery Wójcinski, and Wojtek Kurek. Their original arrangement of folk music from eastern Greater Poland is filled with deep respect for the original material, and at the same time expresses their subjective view of tradition. A bold look, full of references to jazz, blues, early music and free improvisation. The repertoire was based on folk melodies from the Konin area -- from the villages of Babiak, Kramsk and Osiek Wielki. The lyrics were written by the singer and poet, Gosia Zagajewska. Creators coming primarily from the world of improvisation and jazz propose a new, non-obvious and uncompromising reinterpretation of traditional music, with a mood and sound loosely referring to artists such as Tom Waits or Nick Cave. The arrangements are largely based on rhythm, trance, looping, but also on improvisation, from which the tradition of rural music-making largely derives. The band's second album Puste ulice ("Empty Streets") is a well-thought-out, intense and coherent whole, consisting of both soothing ballads and short, dynamic songs with hints of punk or free jazz. The trio consistently familiarizes listeners with an uncompromising reinterpretation of traditional music, while surprising them with fresh, mature and bold ideas.
