Already known as one of the finest young guitar players today, Jakub Zytecki promises to establish himself as one of the most inventive composers of his generation, with new album Nothing Lasts, Nothing’s Lost. Streaming from today and physically released on 6th December, Nothing Lasts, Nothing’s Lost’s is 11 wonderfully diverse tracks, including the beautiful new single ‘Bonsai’.
An expansive collection of songs that explore everything from prog, rock, electronica, funk, jazz, R&B and more, Jakub’s boundaryless creation of sound is impressive on its own. However, what makes Nothing Lasts, Nothing’s Lost truly special is how this eclecticism is entwined with huge hooks and engrossing melodies, and the level of detail that could only be created by someone with the level of talent he possesses.
The centre piece of Nothing Lasts, Nothing’s Lost features two very special guest performances. Meshuggah guitar legend Frederik Thordendal contributes to the electronica driven track ‘Creature Comfort’, in which he performs a signature chromatically atonal tapping solo, which superbly juxtaposes with the clean sheen of the track’s soundscape. Then follows the beautiful ‘Bonsai’, which elevates a stunning high with the soulful voice of renown Polish singer Paulina Przybysz.
Jakub has toured the world far and wide as the guitarist in prog-metal band DispersE, but earlier this year he took his solo project live, touring as support to Plini throughout Europe. This autumn Jakub will hit the road again supporting Plini in Australia, perform his debut headline show in Tokyo Japan, and there are US / UK / Euro dates being planned for 2020.
