KÁRYYN announces the forthcoming Calm KAOSS! EP
Songwriter, producer and multimedia artist KÁRYYN has announced her Calm KAOSS! EP, alongside the first single "the REAL".
Last month, KÁRYYN returned with her first single in for years – "Anthem For Those Who Know" – which was co-produced with Hudson Mohawke, and followed her 2019 debut album, THE QUANTA SERIES. Now she has announced a follow-up EP, Calm KAOSS!.
"the REAL" is one of the first productions from her collaboration with James Ford, and is steeped in the Sumerian poem The Descent of Inanna — a tale of a goddess who enters the realm of death in search of wisdom — and themes from the Vedic text The Upanishads, which declares: “[o]neself is a world for all beings.”
“I’ve always been an I to We person,” she notes. “What excites me is collaboration.” The track shines with both producers’ transcendent chemistry, building a limitless recording space where KÁRYYN’s vision can come to life. “There is no other,” she reminds us. “We are all reflecting one another.”
Calm KAOSS! EP is due for release on 22 May via Mute.
