Album lore

Porządki, released in late 2024 on Requiem Records, presents Maniucha Bikont’s foray into Polish folk tradition with a collection of fourteen tracks rooted in the country’s rich folklore. The album includes pieces such as "Dziś w programie" (in two parts), "Gimnazjum mrok," and "Smutna Maniuszka," each evoking the textures and moods of rural and communal life. Bikont’s voice carries the weight of these time-honored songs, rendered with a directness that preserves their original character without adornment.Though bearing the hallmarks of traditional Polish folk, Porządki refrains from romanticizing its source material. Instead, it captures a moment in the ongoing lineage of this music, as heard through the modest resonance of acoustic instrumentation and Bikont’s measured delivery. The inclusion of a track titled "Love Will Tear Us Apart" suggests a nod to modernity or reinterpretation, though the album remains firmly anchored in its folk roots, offering an artifact of contemporary Polish tradition filtered through a discerning ear.
