Grumpy Songs

"Marudne piosenki" (Marred Songs) is the debut studio album by the Poznań-based artist known as Ranko Ukulele. Lyrics based on loose associations and absurd humor have earned this series of "songs with doodles" a significant following, particularly thanks to platforms like YouTube and TikTok.

"Marudne piosenki" (Marred Songs) features the artist's most popular songs, such as "Kluska," "Żaklin," and "Przegryw." Recorded in professional quality with additional instruments, they still keep the ukulele at the forefront and strive to maintain the raw, beloved feel of the songs.

Ranko is an artist from Poznań whose graceful and unpretentious songs played on the ukulele garner millions of views. Ranko's appeal lies in her lyrical prowess, her self-distance, her sense of humor, and her sense of perspective. Her narrative strips away embarrassment and allows us to live in harmony with ourselves. Ranko is a keen observer who guides us through this world along an unconventional path, a more fairytale-like, more bearable, more beautiful path. Ranko is joined by multi-instrumentalist Paweł "Paweuke" Wojciechowski, who plays bass, mandolin, and melodica, among other instruments.
