Plum Dumplings | NOIX

Description

Plum Dumplings A Brno-based alternative rock band with nearly twenty years of history, known for their raw yet poetic sound. In 2025, they released their third album, Bezpečí, through Indies Scope, which reflects themes of isolation, introspection, and escapism through the chilling vocals of Adéla Polka and literary inspiration. Their work is characterized by irony and a gradual transition from noisy walls to a brighter, yet still dark rock expression. The album Bezpečí is not just about sounds and words – it is a collection of intense musical experiences that accompany listeners from anxious moments of panic attacks to existential questions of life, death, and loss. The music navigates the border between fragile guitar landscapes and electronic experiments, where distinct dynamics intertwine with inner tension. The band does not shy away from complex structures or contemplative moods, which are underscored by the strong vocals of singer Adéla Polka. The album was created in a Secret Studio in Ústí nad Labem, where Plum Dumplings, under the guidance of producer Jan Brambůrek, recorded eight emotionally powerful tracks. NOIX Music flows through space, dreams blend with reality – this is exactly what NOIX's concerts are like, a Prague band balancing on the edge of indie rock and shoegaze, whose dynamic rhythms invite dancing. After several years of carefully searching for their own identity, NOIX released their debut album, Fragile Skies, which received very positive critical acclaim. Their first released single, Radio Love, made it to the Startér chart of Radio Wave, where it remained for five weeks. The album Fragile Skies consists of seven tracks that reflect inspirations from nightlife and a deep connection with nature. NOIX allowed the individual tracks to mature, resulting in a collection of distinct yet fragile vocals, psychedelic guitar riffs, and rich synthesizer landscapes. Everything weaves into a shimmering melancholy that tells of the bittersweetness of existence, wandering through one's subconscious, and surrendering to emotions. Earlier this year, NOIX completed a successful tour in Germany, which included a sold-out concert in Berlin. They confirmed the strong response to the album Fragile Skies beyond the Czech scene. In autumn 2026, the band will embark on a European tour bearing the same name as the album – Fragile Skies. During this tour, they will present not only tracks from their debut album but also entirely new material. NOIX is also entering a new creative phase. They are experimenting with sound and have just begun working on their second album. New tracks suggest that the band is heading in a new direction and exploring further possibilities of their sound.
