 Metro Times Detroit - Musicians - : Galicja
Galicja has been in existence since the summer of 1997, playing shows in Detroit and building a local following and reputation.
Their 'sound' could be described as slower, melodic and introspective, somewhere in the realm of the Velvet Underground, Joy Division and American Music Club.
Spacey without being ethereal, meandering without wandering, eclectic without being cluttered, gentle with a constant presence of forboding: Galicja walks the musical line between cerebral beauty and rock viscera and does it in fine, emotive style employing guitars, cello and a fine touch of rhythm.

 Metro Times Detroit - Record Review - Galicja - "Blocking Your View" b/w "My Death"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Uncomfortable and beguiling sounds converge to conspire in an act of rainy day seduction in the grooves of this tiny little package of nearly gloomy reverie.
Galicja takes the sound of a love affair -- or perhaps a near-affair crush -- and sets it to an intimate confessional backdrop of strummed-but-muted guitars and cello neatly holding the songs’ tension taut while spare snare and cymbal crack along in rhythm.
While the monotone vocals recall Joy Division’s Ian Curtis -- and, indeed, the entire proceeding feels like an indie-pop-informed JD session -- they warm strangely till, by the end of "My Death," the ice has melted into a low-hanging fog.
