David K. Pomahač

Czech singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist David Pomahač is the founder of the well-known urban folk duo Kieslowski. He previously left a footprint on the bands Bez Peří, Houpací Koně, [a1738689]'s backing band, and in the last few years has also accompanied singer-songwriter Ima Teva. In early 2020, he stepped out of the shadows from Kieslowski and embarked on a solo career with the album 16586364 (The Darkness is Still Far Away), produced by Tomáš Havlen (Post-hudba, Zvíře jménem podzim, Spomenik, etc.). 16586364 ranked in the Top 20 of Radio 1's annual charts, in Full Moon magazine's list of the best records of 2020, in the top ten of Musicserver.cz's best albums of the year, and in Expres FM's selection of the best records of 2020. In April 2022, Pomahač is releasing his second solo album via the label Minority Records. The co-writer of the music and producer of the record is Martin Hůla (aka Martin Tvrdý or Bonus). The album marks a new approach to writing for Pomahač. This time he did not seek inspiration in his personal life; instead the lyrics are mainly inspired by single sentences from the novels of H.G. Wells, dystopian sci-fi and the stories of those around him, weaving together tales of self-preservation and the will to survive. On the album, guests include the violinist Jenovéfa Boková, cellist Marie Dorazilová, and David’s son Jáchym Pomahač, who accompanies him onstage at concerts. The Kieslowski era is not forgotten however; these songs are part of Pomahač's history and are still included at his shows.
