Kassie Krut

Kassie Krut began as a solo act for Kasra Kurt who otherwise served as a guitarist and vocalist in Palm – a side project for him to indulge his taste for electronics and set stray ideas to simmer. When Palm called it quits in 2023, Kurt decamped to New York with Eve Alpert, the band’s co-guitarist and -vocalist, and Matt Anderegg, who had produced their last record.

On their self-produced, self-titled debut EP, the group’s approach is deceptively simple. With a constrained palette and a penchant for repetition, they find a world of opposing textures and timbres. Their scratch-made sounds melodize the hard-edged noise of daily life – car alarms, notification chimes, dial tones, feedback – setting it against stutter-step high hats, pots-and-pans percussion, and tensile bass tones that thrash around in the head like a rubber ball. But even as the sounds of impossible instruments are labored over in minute detail, the group’s delivery maintains an air of detached playfulness, deploying a metallic, fun-house-mirror reflection of the contemporary pop idiom.
