Once upon a time, it seemed like everyone I was writing about was Swedish. From Postiljonen, Urban Cone, Royal Concept and even Satellite Stories from Finland wasn’t a huge jump across the world. At that time, one of the highlights was Kate Boy. A little known artist that released the single Northern Lights around the same time female artists like HAIM and CHVRCHES sprung to life on all the indie blogs, and looked to give them all a run for their money until for some reason, she just didn’t.
One of those reasons could be that she didn’t have plans to release any more songs, or at least in a full length album in the way that the others seemed to build up to. The exciting news is she’s just released a new track entitled Self Control and coincidentally it shows my lack-there-of, going off how excited I am by it. It’s another industrial sort of tune, with electronics, a heavy dockyard-esque drumbeat (why do I always compare songs to 80’s style movies or levels of first person shooter video games). As my year eight science teacher would say, it’s got a cargo load of ticker. Check it out below.
