The Amazing Devil

This is a faerily reminder that Joey Batey (aka Jaskier in The Witcher series) has a powerful alt-folk band called The Amazing Devil with Madeleine Hyland, one of the most beautiful voices out there. Their lyrics and music are simply magical and breathtaking.

They have three albums that you can listen to on Spotify and iTunes and if you like their music you can buy those albums digitally on Bandcamp. https://theamazingdevil.bandcamp.com 

Love Run (2016) The Horror and the Wild (2020) and Ruin (2021).

They have only released one music video with a song from their first album Love Run, called “King”

But you can enjoy a beautiful session of some songs from their first album accompanied by their talented musicians and friends.

We are lucky to be able to hear them in their “natural habitat” during a beautiful and powerful session in the woods performing some songs from their second album The Horror and The Wild once again accompanied by their friends.

So I invite you to give them a chance, you will not regret it.

Jagna's crown in The Peasants (2023)

To begin with, I really liked this film in many, many aspects, so this is by no means hate on it.

Buuut if there's one tiny thing that they could've done better... is to double down on the folk stuff. What I mainly mean is Jagna's crown. It's like a nod towards tradition but... Her dress is very city-like imo, white, embroidered with what seems sparkly (meaning expensive) threads. Meanwhile, the crown is small and made of lace, peacock feathers, blueberries??, plants I don't recognise. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty and huge respect to the maker. In the og book, regarding the crown, we read: "Her hair, braided over her forehead, bore above it a rich pile of gold spangles, and peacock’s eyes, and sprigs of rosemary. Therefrom, down to her nape and shoulders, fell long ribbons of every hue;" (translation by Michael Dziewicki). It was also described as tall but I guess it was lost in translation.

Well, just compare this:

to these:

These are from Łowicz which is kinda in the region where Lipce is.

Anyway, this film is not super historically accurate (there's no way they would let Jagna have her hair down, not braided at all) but they did try. Overall, it's a nice introduction to the culture and an invitation to explore more on your own.

Me today listening to The Horror and the Wild and pspsps-ing in the woods with a bottle of wine, writing the TAD logo out in mushrooms and leaves.
