Uši - Uszy - The Ears

Uši - Uszy - The Ears was released in 2011 as a collaborative effort between the long-standing Czech avant-garde band Už Jsme Doma and the Polish independent label Nikt Nic Nie Wie. The album represents a distinct period in the band's career, characterized by their signature blend of complex, irregular rhythms, cabaret-inspired arrangements, and lyrics deeply rooted in surrealism. This release served to bridge the band's reach across the Czech and Polish underground music scenes, emphasizing their commitment to DIY production values and challenging, non-commercial aesthetics.

The album's visual identity, which is central to the Nikt Nic Nie Wie release, reflects the band's long-standing aesthetic partnership with artist Martin Velíšek. Velíšek has provided the visual language for Už Jsme Doma since their inception, creating grotesque and highly detailed illustrations that mirror the band's musical eccentricity. By the time of this 2011 release, the collaboration had become a hallmark of the group's identity, with the packaging intended to serve as a tactile extension of the music's jagged, intellectual nature, which was received by critics as a consistent continuation of their established experimental trajectory.
