REVIEW | Ecce Shnak - “Katy’s Wart” [SONG/VIDEO REVIEW]

New York City-based Ecce Shnak makes art rock that pulls from punk bite, pop hooks, and left field structure, never sitting still for long. After a 2025 stretch that included the Shadows Grow Fangs EP and the live “Backroom Sessions” release, “Katy’s Wart” returns now as a deliberate bridge between that recent run and their forthcoming full length album Dandy Variances.

Ecce Shnak’s “Katy’s Wart” is the most phantasmagoric and captivating project I have come across in 2026 so far, warranting a visit to the Joke Ono album it was originally released on. The song itself is heavy and cryptic, with an intensity that pulls the listener into a trance. The short film sets up seemingly awkward innocence, introduces intrusion, then snaps into otherworldly animation, and the track only arrives in that rupture, which gives its mood real impact. The track’s sudden entrance and hard cutoff are the hinge the whole piece turns on.

Ecce Shnak - Backroom Sessions

photo by Tommy Krause Having been introduced to Avant-rockers ECCE SHNAK last year, we soon realised that this is a band that gleefully toys with expectations and teases assumptions with songs that just as hungrily trespass the imagination. The Backroom Sessions EP proves the point. Recently released via Records Man, Records, it is a four-track live set that tells you all you need to know about…
