Album Notes & Community Reviews

De Press' 'Block to Block' fused Norwegian post-punk with Polish highlander folk references through Andrzej Dziubek's vocal and cultural background. The album's clipped rhythms, political undertones, and regional folk inflections made it unusual within the Scandinavian new wave landscape.
