Katie Kim

The Dublin based artist enters a new epoch as this raring release is set to be her concluding album under the Katie Kim moniker. A sonically opulent and majestic new territory, written and recorded while in the process of moving to New York and subsequently mixed after being forced back to Ireland during a global pandemic, Hour of the Ox tells a story of longing, alienation and desperation for something connected. An incompatible, disparate but devoted view of the world, told through lush strings, an orchestra of synthesizers, up front vocals and live minimalist style drums.
