Ols - Poświaty

Polish artist Ols, known for her evocative neofolk soundscapes, will release her new album "Poswiaty" on 29 May via Pagan Records. 

The upcoming album will explore "semi-fairytale memories from the time of brightness" and specifically the transformative power of love. It examines how a profound first love can interrupt childhood innocence, reveal the world in its entirety, and teach about both its light and the inevitable pain of loss. This kind of love, Ols explains, becomes woven into the very fabric of the soul, shaping everything that follows.

Speaking about the themes and sound of the single "O niej" and the upcoming album, Ols shares:

"This new album is a journey back to that blurry, formative time between childhood and adulthood. It’s about building yourself from fragments of experiences, feelings, and the stories that shaped you. With one foot still in the simplicity of childhood fairy tales and the other stepping into adult understanding, this is where we each start to create our own personal myth. 'O niej' specifically tells of that kind of love that bursts into your childhood world, showing you both immense beauty and the first taste of darkness and loss. Musically, I wanted to capture that feeling of a city evening – a bit lonely, a bit cold, but also full of a strange kind of energy. It's definitely a departure from the neofolk sound I'm known for, embracing a more urban, almost trip-hop vibe. But even though the forest might be further away sonically, its spirit, its presence in memory and feeling, still breathes within the lyrics."
