Lolek started his career a few years ago as drummer of Bolek & Lolek, who borrowed their name from the so called Polish animation of the 80's. Due to a problem of vocalist Bolek (Alexander), Lolek had to take the vocals when they were required to open the concert as guests of Joan as police woman at Gagarin few years ago. His first personal work Lolek or John Anagnostatou was released last month by the active Inner ear and in it participates Boy .
In Have you noticed that opens the album - and immediately wins your interest - you feel like Tom Waits sings in a festival, while I went to the beach alone below, John speaks to us of a solitary walk to the beach. In Since I am a soldier Bruce Springsteen meets Brian Eno, while during the These guns, one of the noisy compositions of Alone, Lolek builts a voice like Mark Lanegan to a song of Screaming Trees. The River of diseases that follows brings to mind some compositions of Walkabouts. For the A Valse of True Romance, another special moment of the album, Leonard Cohen will feel proud. The Now cry! stands for the performance of Lolek, and The Alone with Lucy at the end looks like it came from a drive of Hatzidakis.
In Alone dominates the romanticism, melancholy and lyricism - though as stated by Lolek does not like to serve a particular musical style - the vocals are reminiscent to his influences. Distinguished songs: Have you noticed, A valse of true romance, These guns and Alone with Lucy. You never know, maybe in the fall we would talk about a similar case to the success of Monika!
