Ba:zel is a witch-wave duo made up of Ewelina Vlcek Chiu and Daniel Vlcek. Active since 2014, the duo has journeyed through a variety of unique genres such as experimental ASMR-electropop (eye draw(s) the line LP), neoclassical dark-wave (Scene 7 EP) to witch-wave (WE LP). The project features Daniel on drum pad, drum machine, bass guitar and back vocals and Ewelina on synth, soprano flute and vocals. Over the years ba:zel has struck a tentative balance between dark, heavy bass and beats and floating, emotionally charged vocals. In addition to having toured extensively throughout Europe and Canada, ba:zel has collaborated with countless artists, performers and filmmakers. Following three years of silence since their last release, ba:zel came out with their second full-length album WE at the end of 2022. Out on Prague-based label XION, WE is a manifesto for troubled times. Written before the pandemic but released after WE resumes a narrative for a world that is still burning.
