Katie Kim: “The Feast”.
June 25, 2011, 0 comments
Our dearest friend John of the Irish electronic duo Solar Bears sends us a new music recommendation every week or so, which has almost become a tradition ever since I stumbled over their splendid record She Was Coloured In last year, a record that also made one of our Best Of lists back in December. Ireland’s Katie Kim, the solo project of singer-songwriter Katie Sullivan was this week’s name-drop, and as the melancholic pop lover I am, I was instantly captivated by Katie Kim’s mellow, delicately wistful tunes combined with her husky voice, as if we were caught in a meltdown between Zola Jesus and Braids, with a hint of lesser-known Anana‘s underwater pop in the middle of it all.
We were lucky enough to have a sneak peak at her forthcoming album Cover and Flood, which will supposedly be released on vinyl sometime soon, but a final date of the release is yet to be set. Stream a few more songs off the album here.
