Debrecen – The first track of KontAktus’ new album, Második, has been released. The band will continuously present five songs from the album Gyürött Valságunk.
An indefinable and varied style, a special musical spot in Debrecen’s cultural life – this is KontAktus. The band from Debrecen was founded in 2012, and since then it has undergone many member changes. In the current lineup, Nelli Bíró (singer), Balázs Hepp (piano), Olivér Hepp (guitar, vocals), András Nagy (guitar), Balázs Tóth (drums) and Bence Tóth (bass guitar) have been playing together since 2017. They mainly play their own tracks, their style is hard to define, but it is closest to Hungarian indie and alternative genres.
Most recently, in April, he appeared in the team with a poem set to music, and now they have come up with a composition of their own. Másododi is the first song from the new album Gyűrött Vólságunk, followed by Árnyalat.
Bíró Nelli told Dehir.hu that the album had been planned for a long time and that it contained songs that were born a long time ago and are closer to them.
– Finally, we publish five songs for the audience. Musically, there are quite a few different styles, starting from the hard-hitting Második to Bújócská, which follows a light jazz line. However, what the songs say absolutely holds the album together
the singer pointed out.
The central line of the album is given by the text and the atmosphere, and the title Gyűrött Valóságünk was born along this line, as the band’s pianist said.
– We tried to express in a special form the feelings that the individual has in the current social situation, sometimes with a more cheerful but sarcastic number, and sometimes a little more eloquent
Balázs Hepp added.
Nelli also talks about the plans to make video clips: the creative processes for the songs “Hass, alkoss, gyarapíts…” and “Vászon” have already begun. In addition to filming, they also want to do concerts.
– Although there was a short break due to studio work and Covid, we definitely want to be on stage in the club season that is about to start, and we are preparing for our traditional winter birthday, all-night concert – Balázs concluded the conversation.
