Thanks to Neil from Trust the Doc for reviewing my new single “Harm” off upcoming album Farewell, Doomed Planet! An excerpt:
…the ambient soundscape gradually grows in volume and intensity, almost but not quite engulfing the voices before it judders to a halt one second short of three minutes (so radio programmers, take note – perfect length for airplay). So another fine track by this versatile artist.
Full review up on the blog (also a review of my buddy Xqui!).
Thanks to Arkay Artists for adding “Twilight Moving Mediation” and “Ghost in the Machine” to their “Indie Chill” and “Indie Trip” playlists, respectively. Lots of good stuff on here for you to alternate vegging and freaking out to 😝
Joseph Stannard, Deputy Editor for The Wire, played “Departure” off upcoming album Farewell, Doomed Planet! on the Adventures in Sound and Music show on Resonance FM this Thursday. Catch the show on Mixcloud and revel in the Alex Cox/Moviedrome vibe!
A huge thank you to I Heart Noise for premiering “Harm” off the upcoming album Farewell, Doomed Planet! They also gave it a really nice write-up on the blog:
[Harm’s] sole focus is Atmosphere with a capital A, one of utter coldness and desolation – the ethereal/melancholic vocals being a cherry on top of the proverbial cake. While it may not cause millions to change their mind about climate it certainly moves you in a way that any really well crafted song should.
At 9pm Central, I Heart Noise will be premiering the video for “Harm” off Farewell, Doomed Planet! I’ll be hanging around Twitter and Youtube if you want to chat. Join me here!
Farewell, Doomed Planet! is now available for pre-order on Bandcamp on CD or as a digital download. Pre-ordering gets you 5 tracks right now! Digital download is also available for pre-order on Google Play, and is coming soon to Apple Music/iTunes, Amazon, Tidal, and everywhere else.
Coming October 25…
Beautiful review of the Departure 2019 tape on Cassette Gods this weekend:
“Kelly brings her considerable chops as a singer, a songwriter, and a mischievous experimental imp to the table, delighting everybody in earshot with magnificent synthesizers and baroque arrangements, recalling Vangelis and Tangerine Dream and Enya and Björk, but also the sweeping buzz and interjected interruption of our greatest generation of outsider talent.”
Full review over on the site. Thank you, Ryan!
