After
2 instrumental releases Milan Polak released
his first vocal album “Straight”
in 2007. Now 2 years on “Murphy’s
Law” is the perfect extension of its
predecessor with a more modern sound, heavier,
less bluesy, more guitar (e.g. “Murphy’s
Law”), more progressive (e.g. “Sheeple”,
“The Mystery Of Life”), more
choirs & backing vocals (e.g. “Inner
Truth”) and even some oriental
sounds (e.g. "No God", "Inner Truth") and a great representation
of an artist that is delivering music true
to his soul and ideals in life.
“Murphy’s
Law” is an accessible album full of
strong vocal hooks, great guitar work and
mature song writing from one of Europe’s
most in demand session musicians who is
now forging his own fan base.
Lyrically
the album deals with social issues, mass
media manipulation and other issues of modern
day life (e.g. “Wannabes”, “Alien
Nation”, "Sheeple") being the main overriding factor
influencing Milan’s work. On his aim
with the album Milan comments, “The
goal was to create a killer album with melodic,
heavy modern songs that appeal to both consumers
of that genre and musicians”.
On
his fellow band mates on the release Milan
beams, “Fabio Trentini who played
all the basses this time also co-produced
the album. He has several platinum &
gold records and added his knowledge &
experience. Simon Michael (drummer of Subway
To Sally) added the right mix of technical
& musical modern drumming, it’s
a great band and I’m delighted to
be playing with them”.
The
creative process behind “Murphy’s
Law” began 18 months ago with Milan
recording the basic guitar tracks in his
home studio before sending them to Fabio
Trentini. The pair then went about furbishing
the songs in Fabio’s studio. By this
time Milan had a detailed picture of each
and every song resulting in the recording
of guitars and vocals happening in a productive
3 week period. Schedules of the albums other
personnel meant the album took longer to
complete than originally planned, but the
freshness of the main creative process of
the album is readily apparent for all to
hear on “Murphy’s Law”.
