Punko is the solo electronic project of Naarm/Melbourne-based musician and producer, Liv Jansz. Punko is an outlet for channelling stories that reside in the body and the otherworld, fusing elements of pop, ambient and post-punk to create a rich and hypnotic soundscape of synths and layered vocal harmonies.
Since releasing their debut album "Plants Singing" in 2022, they are currently exploring a DIY approach to dance music. Punko’s latest body of work explores the spectrum of isolation and connection, the ocean, the esoteric and evokes a feeling of fertile new-life energy.
