With Objects, Beings & Parrots, Urlaub in Polen remain true to their long-standing aesthetic of movement and impermanence, more than two decades after the project first took shape. For Georg Brenner (multi-instrumentalist) and Jan Philipp Janzen (drums), music is still conceived as a temporary state—an experience unfolding in time, shaped by passing impressions and the memorabilia collected along the way. Following their 2020 comeback album All, rooted in a playfully tangled take on krautrock, this new release picks up familiar threads while opening itself even further to exploration.
Across nine tracks, the duo navigates a dense mesh of stylistic references without ever losing coherence. Much like the album’s cover collage—juxtaposing tile catalogues, retro interior imagery, and archaeology textbook cut-outs—the music thrives on unexpected combinations that somehow fit together. The result is a warm sense of being carried along, of trusting the journey, even as the band persistently resists being pinned down to any single genre. Eclectic by design, Objects, Beings & Parrots invites listeners to keep moving, to linger briefly, and then to move on again.
