Bokka

Bokka is a Polish electronic group active since 2013. The act works in the areas of dream pop, electropop, shoegaze and synth-pop, and also connects with downtempo, indie and art pop.

Identity and presentation

The group keeps the identities of its members hidden. It avoids press photos, leaves names off its own profiles and websites, and does not appear in its own music video output. This anonymous presentation is part of the group’s overall approach.

Music and early release

Bokka’s first single is “Town of Strangers”, from its self-titled debut album. The song uses percussion built entirely from looped samples of household items, including tissue boxes, glasses and half-full water bottles. It is recorded on a tablet in one session and is described through a tense, narrative style centred on urban isolation, survival, memory and identity.

Releases and labels

The debut album is issued via Nextpop Songwriters and Parlophone Poland.
