Gym Wisdom's self-titled debut LP out on November 19th on Sonar Records (R-series)
After four greatly received singles, the Polish post punk quartet Gym Wisdom make their debut with a self-titled album that sounds like a panic attack at a fitness class - tense, wiry, and strangely tender beneath the noise. Across nine tracks, the group explores themes of hypermasculinity, burnout, and the cult of optimization that defines modern life.
Their sound lands somewhere between the uneasy quirkiness of Slint, the manic drive of The Jesus Lizard, and the raw pulse of Brexit-core's new wave, filtered through a distinctly Polish lens. Spoken-word vocals, dissonant guitars, and rhythm section with undeniable groove capabilities form the core of the record's identity - a music that's both cerebral and visceral, swinging between explosive heaviness and abstract calm.
Though Gym Wisdom have been active for barely a year, they've already made their name in Poland's guitar music underground. The band's members come from a tangle of other projects - Nene Heroine, Kury, SOYUZ, Klawo, HÉR to name a few - and their collective background gives the album its strange cohesion: messy but deliberate, muscular but self-aware.
