Nauzea Orchestra

Nauzea Orchestra is an alternative band from Ústí nad Labem, founded in 2007. Their debut album Meisterstück Eins (2009) drew on electroclash, Dadaist playfulness, and lyrics in German and English. On the albums The Dark Side Of The Raven (2011), Dobro (2015), and Štěstí (2017), influences from krautrock, slanted country, industrial, noise, and post-punk gradually emerged. The fifth album Láska (2021) and sixth record Ulož tmu are now entirely in Czech.

Ulož tmu is tighter and more aggressive than previous releases - it builds on krautrock motifs, minimalism, and post-punk energy. The band returns to more danceable grooves, and despite the darker subject matter, the record sounds fresh.

Current lineup: Ondřej Švandrlík (guitar, synthesizer, vocals), David Kolovratník (drums), Ivo Mikšovský (bass), Jakub Švandrlík (guitar), and Klára Suchanková (violin, vocals).
