The Soundrops

The Soundrops is a Polish pastoral rock band formed in 1999, consisting of siblings Gero (Gerard Nowak: vocals, harmonies, guitars, bass, percussion, flute, electric pen) and Morella (M***a Nowak: vocals, djembe, mental support) as well as another founder member OtoKarbalcy (Paweł Kuźmiak: vocals, guitar, harmonica). Founded around 1999 on the embers of a harmony pop/folk trio The Round Triangle (Ger and Paf within the line-up), The Soundrops gained local fame in 2004 through acoustic versions of songs by Polish rock group Armia. In 2006 they started releasing self-penned material with “Future Perfect in the Past”, recorded in SP Records studio. The subsequent ventures: “Half”, “Good Afternoon”, almost ocierające się o Grandmy Award “Outward”, and “Night” (obycztery 2007), were recorded at home and produced by Gero. More mature Soundrops albums (2008) include “Interim”, “From Time To Time”, “Weathertop”, and “Downhill Uphill” (zdaje się że the best of them), “Deaths” and “A Bottle of Oil”. These were followed by the 2009 efforts: “On” , “Rightunders” and “Friends” (the latter regarded the Soundrops' finest). “Takdotletaktak” (another one from 2009) is a supplement in Polish to the otherwise English-sung discography. 2010 witnessed the release of Gero's favourite discography piece: "Good Reinerz", a concept-album devoted to the Bystrzyckie Hills. The following years brought "Helpers" (2011), "August" (2012) and "Twenty" (2014). Gero also sang harmony vocals as well as occasional leads on the album Luna by Tomasz Budzyński of Armia. Having contributed spoken word in English to Armia's album "Pocałunek Mongolskiego Księcia", he spluttered his vocal cords more prominently on their 2009 album "Freak" (with most of the lyrics by Tom & Gerro). The Soundrops' "Songs from the Cloud" (2010) features pastoral versions of several Armia tracks. In 2011, Gero appeared in Armia's mock-dockumentary called "Podróż na wschód", and The Soundrops contributed to the soundtrack, which was released on 2012. formed in Poznan, PL in 1999.
