Kate Boy || True Colours

Lately, I’ve been wondering a lot about Kate Boy, the dark electronic pop project involving members from both Australia and Sweden who’ve been entrancing us with their glacial electronica and edgy pop for many a year both live and through their riveting recordings. Their glowering, frigid sound and pulsing beats are very much right up my alley, and I’ve been missing them dearly. Though they made a welcome and unexpected appearance on Slow Magic’s Mind earlier this year, Kate Boy has been MIA for a very long time. This month, they’ve finally dashed back onto the scene with True Colours, which comes with abstract visuals that match the song’s chromatic allusion and shadowy scenery. Kate Boy ventures deeper into experimental waters with the eccentric release, reminding us of Kill J, The Knife, and Björk with their sinuous winding, serpentine clattering composition. True Colours is a dance of light and shadow, a wondrous and fantastical sonic embrace to welcome us back into Kate Boy’s magnificent world. Stream/purchase the single, here.

I never thought I’d see the day when Slow Magic and Kate Boy would end up on the same track, so Mind is pretty much a dream come true for this devout fan of both the masked producer and the Swedish/Australian synthpop project. We haven’t heard from either of them in quite some time, yet here they are, dishing out energetic thrumming vibes on Mind. Slow Magic showcases his visionary brilliance on the icy glistening, swift shimmering electronic aria, whose other worldly beauty and rich glacial consistency is the perfect scenery for Kate Boy’s bewitching Scandi-pop vocals. Mind fills me with wonder on this cold spring morning. It seems to break us free of all things mundane and push us up towards the stars. Anything seems possible, all of a sudden.
