The Group Will Tour Europe This Year
Scala & Kolacny Brothers’ TikTok Account Launches Today
LOS ANGELES – Scala & Kolacny Brothers have finished the acclaimed indie rock choir’s seventh studio album, DUSK, which will be released digitally on May 12. The group will perform live at Artikuss in Luxembourg the following day before launching a European tour in the fall.
The choir – directed by brothers Stijn and Steven Kolacny – recorded what could be its most eclectic group of cover songs for DUSK. It includes tracks originally recorded by Bon Jovi, KC and The Sunshine Band, Trent Reznor, Air Supply, Linkin Park, and Sammy Davis Jr. The album’s first single is Scala’s version of Britney Spears’ GrammyÒAward-winning 2003 hit, “Toxic.”
DUSK will be available to download and stream on May 12. Scala & Kolacny Brothers will tour Europe later this year (see tour dates below.) The group also launched its official TikTok page (@scalaandkolanybros) today.
To record DUSK, Scala & Kolacny Brothers once again returned to Galaxy Studios in their native Belgium. The new 20-song collection expands the group’s repertoire of rock, metal, and dance covers with mesmerizing interpretations of Joni Mitchell’s “The Circle Game,” Chicago’s “Hard To Say I’m Sorry,” Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game,” and Pink Floyd’s “What Do You Want From Me.”
In a lyrical twist, the group sings four songs in Spanish, including The Mamas & the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” (“California Mía”) and Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” (“No Importa Nada Más.”)
Scala & Kolacny Brothers had not recorded a Beatles’ song before DUSK, which includes two songs by the iconic group: “Here Comes The Sun” and “Here, There And Everywhere.” In addition to breaking new musical ground on the new album, the group also revisited several artists they’ve covered before, like Nine Inch Nails (“Hurt”), Linkin Park (“In The End”), and Foo Fighters (“My Hero.”)
Hailed by NPR as “rock’s heavenly choir,” Scala & Kolacny Brothers’ music has been featured in trailers for Oscar-nominated films like Zero Dark Thirty, The Social Network, and, most recently, Spencer. The group’s music can also be heard on various television shows, including Sex Education, Downton Abbey, The Simpsons, Sons Of Anarchy, Homeland, Desperate Housewives, Lucifer, and Nikita. Recently, the group contributed a cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” to the acclaimed documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck and a cover of Alanis Morisette’s “You Ought To Know” to the documentary of her album, Jagged Little Pill.
