FOQL, aka Justyna Banaszczyk, returns to Pointless Geometry with a new album after 10 years. It was her record that opened the label’s catalog, and now, symbolically, we close a decade and open a new one with her release. Bug Poems leans towards sound poetry, exploring the voice, touching on strange emotions—the fear of the alien-insect, but also the fascination with it. It is an attempt to capture a feeling.

The new album by FOQL is the result of months of research exploring poetry, pop culture, philosophy, and entomology in search of a new sonic and poetic language. Bug Poems moves between sound art and spoken word, weaving together strange emotions, fear of the unknown, and intimate reflection.

It’s an audial poetry, where the voice becomes both instrument and narrative, and where insects turn into metaphors for our inner worlds.

The album also features collaborations with artists such as Piotr Gwadera, Tomek Popakul, Martix Navrot aka Xenon, Natan Kryszk, Edka Jarząb, and Marcin Garncarek, Szymon “Pimpon” Gąsiorek, Kasumi Ozeki. It is a densely woven sonic narrative, exploring the radio play as a genre. Never before has FOQL used her own voice so intensely. If you associated her with the club scene she emerged from over a decade ago, that thread is now either cut or carried into unknown territories.

The album Bug Poems was realized with the support of an Artistic Scholarship from the City of Łódź.
