Paula & Karol

„The Americans have Au Revoir Simone, the Welsh have Los Campesinos! And
the time has come for Poland to get their own glockenspiel-playing band. And what a band it is! This is without a doubt one of this year’s most interesting and important debut bands of the alternative Polish music scene. And while it’s unfortunate that we can only say this for a small number of bands in our country – but this EP can, without a question, be put on the shelf next to other British or American bands
that are masters of their genre. But what genre? Theirs is a type of music that fits into one of the fastest-growing sub-genres of the alternative music scene (and for
a Polish band it is quite rare to be so in-the-know). Here you’ll find a bit of modern, alternative folk, some classic, twee-pop sensitivities, and it’s all packaged
up into a lo-fi box which crosses the barriers of intimacy between musicians and their listeners. Throughout this EP, we get a sense that the musicians took out their
guitars, glockenspiel and electronics in the middle of our bedroom and started playing just for us. While there are a lot of bands that play this
type of music overseas, there are really two things that decide if a band will soar beyond the average – strong melodies and total honesty. When listening
to this EP you are convinced that Paula and Karol are masters of both. Their melodies stay in your head for days – and you will uncontrollably start
humming their unforgettable lyrics. This is the way great records should sound – and this EP is undoubtedly one of them”

[The album] is much more assertive and melodic than the previous two. This doesn't say too much abut it's authors, except that a band that could always play concerts around campfires and reconcile the Polish music scene has become a group of professionals on a big stage. That is a good thing (organization-wise), but could signal a bit of danger for audiences who have loved P&K for their enthusiasm, energy and naturalness. The brass section at the end (with The Incredible Combo featuring) sounds amazing and this is where you can really hear [Ryan] Hadlock's influence. - Polifonia - Polityka's Music Blog

Paula & Karol play a big concert. I have never met such a positive, and at the same time naive, group of people. [...] Paula & Karol reminded me that making music is fun and, even if you're totally exhausted, you shouldn't treat it like a job to do. - Gazeta Wyborcza
