  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    "In Transit (Is What We Are)" is the debut album of singer, songwriter and guitarist Michael Moravek, released by Popup/Soulfood February 28, 2017. Moravek has released 5 albums with his band Planeausters.

    Out of 20 recordings Moravek chose 11 songs for In Transit (Is What We Are), most of them recorded in Chicago at Joyride Studio with Grammy winner Brian Leach. Aside of Moravek's touring band the album also features Chicagoan band The Great Crusades, jazz trumpet player Stephen Wright (Mary J. Blige, The Dixie Chicks) and The Waterboys' fiddler Steve Wickham.

    Moravek’s timeless songs are deeply rooted in the tradition of folk music. His stories about searchers, the uprooted and the driven are like road movies or 4-minute-novels, wherein he covers his own traces. His autobiographic cross references blur and create true stories, songs like shivery daydreams with cold Chicago nights pouring out of them – which in fact is how they have been created.
