Bio
Černý tesák is the musical project of Miloš Dolinský, a native of the small town of Vidnava in Czech Republic. His dark instrumental music, built on loopers and sequencers, blends a gritty mix of ambient loops, electronic beats, and post-rock. He draws inspiration from artists like Boards of Canada and Nine Inch Nails.
Debut album Zůstaň (Stay), released in the fall of 2023, captures the feeling of constant change and the flow of time across 10 tracks. Electronic beats and distorted guitars are complemented by drums, percussion, and keyboards performed by Zdeněk Jurčík (Kafka Band, Letní Kapela). The album was mixed by Černý tesák himself, with mastering handled by Tomáš Karásek at Gargle and Expel Studio.
Three singles from the album – Králíček, Jsem happy, and Zůstaň – are accompanied by animated music videos. The video for Zůstaň was awarded Best Animated Music Video at the Budapest Movie Awards and Best Experimental Music Video at the No Stress Music Video Awards. Additionally, the tracks Zůstaň and Stromy stayed in the Velká sedma chart on Radio 1 for the full 7 weeks.
Wrote about me:
"It's clear that this kind of music is not for easy listening, but it requires a really
focused listener. However, if you take the time, Černý tesák will reward you with a
beautiful musical experience."

"In some ways Zůstaň is reminiscent of the work of the master Manuel Göttsching, who died last year, but its mood is overall much more moderated and, for example, the track Srdce (Heart) may even remind us of Ota Petrina's solo albums from the 1980s. Miloš Dolinský serves the listener precise playing with a subtle bustling spice"

"Miloš Dolinský rolled on incredible instrumental pressure reminiscent of the best of
Holy Fuck or Fuck Buttons.”

"Guitar one-man show reflects much of himself: playful and likeable music, which is made at home. But in the same time, this young musician is not afraid to bare his teeth."
