Overview

Csak a zene! ("Just the Music!") is a studio album by Ismerős Arcok, one of Hungary's most recognizable rock bands. The group has built a devoted following with melodic guitar rock and lyrics that speak directly to Hungarian identity, history, and everyday life.

The thirteen tracks here range widely. There are pointed, topical songs — "Amerika," "Globális felmelegedés" ("Global Warming") — alongside reflective numbers like "Mindig a sötétben" and the closing title track "Csak a zene!" The band also reaches into folk tradition: "Szántják az erdei utat" is a folk song, and "Katona sirató" ("Soldier's Lament") sits in the same vein, with guest Kátai Zoltán adding koboz (Hungarian lute) and Geszti Eszter on flute.

Led by singer-guitarist Nyerges Attila, the band's core lineup of guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, and saxophone gives the songs a full, anthemic sound — built for singing along at concerts. Most of the material is written within the band, principally by Nyerges, Leczó, Galambos, and Práder.

Released on GrundRecords in 2015, this is a representative album from a band that has become a fixture of the Hungarian rock scene.
