Polish post-punk and darkwave project Bez|kres will release their debut self-titled album “bez|kres” via Pagan Records on 23 May 2025. The announcement follows the release of their first single “dogłos” in April 2025.

“Bez|kres” is immersed in post-punk and darkwave, with clear echoes of Polish cold wave. The album is described as a “conscious pursuit of minimalism” and marks the culmination of a journey that began as an idea in 2006 with the concept of czasu|kres. In 2022, they resurfaced as Bez|kres.

The album was recorded between 2023 and 2024 at Studio Czyściec in Katowice and Studio I, JIG. The mix and mastering were handled by Nihil, who also provided additional support.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
