Piotr Kurek - Songs and Bodies (2025)

The album "Songs and Bodies" by Polish musician Piotr Kurek is an experimental reimagining of '90s indie and post-rock. Inspired by bands like Slint and Tortoise, Kurek creates a sound palette that seems familiar at first glance but reveals its complex digital nature upon closer listening. He processes guitar and keyboard sketches through modern techniques, adding cybernetic vocal fragments, MIDI distortions, and unconventional tempo shifts. The album explores and celebrates not the perfect formulas of the genre, but its "imperfections"—the hesitation and rawness of the sound. The result is sardonic and subtle electronic music that feels deeply human and innovative without relying on standard clichés.
