Sounds Like
"Folkish, Arcade Fire-edged rock." - Time Out.
"Thank fuck for this single! An uproarious, ridiculous and undebiably glorious pagan rock jig...with all the festive frivolity of your first psilocybin-fuelled barn dance. Three minutes of folk pop perfection." - Playlouder.
"Still a phenomenal stage presence, Godzisz's solo material is at once triumph over adversity and tainted with a new worldly experience." - Luminaire.
"Achingly beautiful" 4/5 - Gigwise.
"Reinvigorated as one of the UK's heroes of pop songwriting" - Plastic Ashtray.
"It's great, incase you were wondering" 8/10 - Drowned In Sound.
"Like Arcade Fire as conducted by Tim Burton" 8/10 - Planet Sound.
"Godzisz has a fantastic single on his hands... To put it simply, a thrill." - The Horn.
"One of the most unusual songs you will hear all year and love." 8/10 - Comfort Comes.
"A starkly original and impressively experimental outing...the sound of a man on top of his game." - Rock Midgets.

I recently produced a music video about my character and persona/ muse, the Glorious Maiden which I thought you might like to see.
I decided to use a piece of music by an electro/downtempo French band caled AIR that I particularly liked.
This project was my own initiative, conceived as a means of showcasing my visual artistry and evolving interest in video art as a medium, in addition to music and songwriting, through which my muse can be channelled and expressed.
I have receieved the blessing of the band and their agents to realise my artistic vision for the Glorious Maiden.
The shoot took place at the "Enchanted Forest " ~ ( in Black Park where other cool music videos including "Breathing" by Kate Bush have been shot).
I had a lot of fun editing the video and experimenting with visual and special effects... in the process of which the Maiden takes on some "mystical powers " ... ( suggestions on a postcard as to what you think her mysterious powers might be.. ! )
here is the link for the video uploaded onto YouTube .. (the original is in higher resolution, so please click on the link where it tells you to watch in High Quality for optimal viewing experience. It is a short music video, but with high impact visuals .. my motto was "make every frame count ".., so make sure you dont miss anything ! )
Please stay tuned for more announcements about upcoming Maiden projects.. I hope you enjoy the video and look forward to hearing your thoughts about it.
And as always, thank you so much for your time, friendship and love, I would love very much to know YOUR thoughts about my creation.
I think the phrase 'mustn't grumble' is applicable to me at the moment. Yeah I'll come down Saturday, after spending last weekend down in the depths of South London some North London refinement is just what I need.
Hello Wojtek Godzisz ! We thank you for your friendship! We shot our first video on the song "Pokrovy nebesnogo starca" along with friends from reconstruction club "Rodovit". I offer you to watch it and coment on it, if possible. Your opinion is important for us!
That venue the other night was the most impressive place I've been to in a long time, and I aint easily impressed. Never entered a pub by walking on a floating walkway before. Your set wasn't bad neither.
