Uši (Ears) is an album by the Czech band Už jsme doma.[5][6][7] It was released in 1999 via Skoda Records.[8]
The record was somewhat of an American breakthrough for the band, and also marked the first time that they had worked with an American producer.[3] A tour in support of the album coincided with the band's 15th anniversary in 2000.[9]
Production[]
The album was produced by Dan Rathburn, of the band Idiot Flesh.[10]
Critical reception[]
Francois Couture, in an AllMusic review, wrote that producer "Dan Rathbun captured the bandmembers' live energy while allowing them an ample sound for their more symphonic inclinations."[3] CMJ New Music Monthly thought that "a studied roughness continues to creep into the kinetic art-rock/jazz/ethnic/punk/chamber pop fusion theorized by key personnel Miroslav Wanek and Jindra Dolansky."[1] The San Diego Union-Tribune wrote that the album "features noodling guitars ('Oku (Eye)'), thick bass riffs ('Bosi (Barefeet)' and epic jams ('Usi (Ears)' -- all of which the band delivers with its own distinct style."[11] The Province opined that "the band rocks like almost no other artist since Frank Zappa or Soft Machine."[4]
