Description

KANGA w. Foie Gras, They/Live, Male Tears, DJ Dom Prietto The Wayfarer Presents 21+ KANGA w. Foie Gras, They/Live, Male Tears, DJ Dom Prietto at The Wayfarer KANGA is an electronic musician, producer and remixer from Los Angeles, CA. Championed by electronica icon Gary Numan and widely considered one of the finest darkwave purveyors, KANGA fuses post- apocalyptic pop sensibilities with body-shaking rhythms and sinuous melodies. Following on the heels of her 2016 acclaimed self-titled debut album, she self-released her “Eternal Daughter” EP in late 2019. ReGen Magazine wrote “From start to finish, Eternal Daughter showcases her mastery of production and songwriting, from the glitchy vocal effects subtly meshing with the controlled synthetic energy and dynamic percussion of “Daughter” to the forceful shifts in rhythm on “Control...” “Eternal Daughter” is now being re-released on April 24, 2020 on Artoffact Records, featuring three brand new bonus tracks that highlight KANGA’s considerable talents as a producer and musician. KANGA joined Gary Numan on his sold out 40th Anniversary UK tour in late 2019 to great acclaim. She is currently recording her next full length album with with co-producer Justin McGrath (NIN, Tool, Puscifer), which is set to be released in Fall of this year on Artoffact Records. "Foie Gras is unabashedly loud and mystic, gentle and soft. Guitar driven, she lives at the intersections of secure drone and reimagined Americana, as if Brian Eno and Patsy Cline have committed themselves to an endless and passionate love affair. Wake up, this is where your daughters have wandered off to." Named after the 1988 John Carpenter sci-fi/action film, Whitney Mower's project They/Live nods to artists of that era while weaving in sounds, themes, and a powerful female perspective very much rooted in the present. Using ethereal synth lines, intricate drum patterns, and haunting vocal layers, Mower builds complex, dystopian scenes. In They/Live's universe, a vulnerable female character finds power and offers hope, despite the pain of an oppressive past, despite the ominous landscape of the future—her precise soprano voice urges, "... if you let me I'll lift you out of the darkness." Produced by Whitney Mower and Alex Dupree, engineered and mixed by Grammy award winner and Khruangbin producer, Steve Christensen, They/Live's debut LP 'Ablation' was released May 8th 2020 via Born Losers Records.
