Skalary, mieczyki, neonki is the seventh studio album by Polish alternative rock band Myslovitz. It was released out-of-schedule on December 4, 2004. The album is startlingly different from Myslovitz's other albums, abandoning the usual alt-rock sound in favour of psychedelic soundscapes and improvisations.

The album contains outtakes from the Korova Milky Bar recording sessions. The songs are longish, psychedelic-experimental and mostly instrumental soundscapes with an utterly melancholic mood to them. Although this is the only studio album with this sound, Myslovitz have been known to improvise in this style between songs on their live concerts.

The first and only single from the album, Życie to surfing, was released in November 2004.
