Cut The Sky (Roth/Zimpel/Zemler) – Esz Kodesz

In a nod to the project’s theme of cultural cross-pollination, the band’s name Cut The Sky is taken from a sentence in the English translation of Polish-Jewish writer Bruno Schulz’s book The Street of Crocodiles

while the album title is the Polish transliteration of the Hebrew phrase meaning “sacred fire”.
