About Jiný Metro
Jiný Metro is the songwriter duo of best friends Katie Alžběta Brown and Klára Čmejrková. The duo has performed on various stages around Europe and in Prague, hosting international bands in their home venues and writing new music together. For the past two years, the band has been working on a chamber-pop EP of intimate yet exceedingly arranged and creatively produced songs. The upcoming album includes stacked vocal and flute harmonies, catchy clarinet melodies, a string quartet, the autoharp, and board games used as percussion. Since their debut record Rande s Revizorem, Jiný metro has expanded to a five-member band to incorporate the rich instrumental arrangements into their live performances.
