Random Girl

by james K

supported by

Arjun Srivatsa Random Girl feels simultaneously heavenly and hellish: Kโ€™s angelic, reverb-drenched vocals are submerged by punishing waves of distortion, grungy guitars, and delayed drums. She deconstructs pop with diabolic delight, zagging from the ethereal riffs on โ€œLife of a Flyโ€ to the hammering beats of โ€œNude Volvo.โ€ Occupying its own terrain between noisy pop, industrial ambient, and shoegaze, Random Girl is a diverse record from a musician whoโ€™s always been hard to pin down.

julian Starring The Weird Art Room Girl With Smeared Everything as The Divine Feminine, crawling through a CRT television and brandishing an oil-slick knife. Heed the call, stare at the sun, bulldoze everything. โ€œKill your fear.โ€ Favorite track: Teen Cruelty (w/ Stefan Maier).

Just when she was about to be torn by the god of keep-quiet and skate, she managed to finish an album for Incienso. In it, she stands astride and alone, as she needs to spell out past syntax for good.

How does it feel like to look down on one's life beneath the current one? How scattered can that Random Girl be? James uses a scientific method: a shovel.

...๐’พ๐“‰'๐“ˆ ๐“ƒ๐‘œ๐“‰ ๐“…๐“‡๐‘’๐“‰๐“‰๐“Ž (๐’ท๐“Š๐“‰ ๐’พ๐“‰'๐“ˆ ๐“…๐“‡๐‘’๐“‰๐“‰๐“Ž).

What's gathered at first is a heterogeneous mixture of intimacy and sore, collected between 2014-2018. As if in a cruel playground game, K breaks a tracklist full of complex soundscapes, voice manipulation, and dazzling shoegaze with a self-built noise box, stethoscope throat-voice and a cellphone recording from a fake tropical island on ecstasy. Consequently, Random Girl is a voice against infantilization of girlhood, a decisive refutal of integrity, fighting what can be understood as the death of expression. Take a sip of water before your memory error blinks. Dial to K. Listen to the disfragmented territory and the cast of it sheโ€™s making. It might not be what you will have thought tomorrow.

about

james K New York, New York

A version of James K was born. Comprised of bones, reactive metals and a larynx with freckled eyes that catalyzes that mix. She produces her music and makes temporary haven for indomitable lyrics โ€“ and these are in constant flux. You can check what they are here: [917 908-1173]. It's only a part of her fairly detailed world. A world that she abandons and then builds upon. ... more
