KRANKY STARS #2: CONTINTENTAL WEIRDO POP
We’re back to barking at the Ghentian moon from the age-old Kinky Star stoop, this time with two off-kilter acts of pop-adjacent sensibilities: Kou’s enveloping world of musical quirks prefaced by young FROM’s Spanish bedroom croonings. Plus De Kat Memwa’s musical selection for intros, outros and between-os 🌚

KOU
From Lille: Apolline (of Nina Harker) and Thomas (of much improv happenstance) create a multilingual, multicoded universe of sounds whimsical and confounding, like stoned tricksters by candlelight.
FROM
From Oviedo: lo-fi one-man band of no wave, with no waves being swum in dreamy bedroom outposts. A hazy 90s radio station heard in a fever dream, a lovelorn ballad made danceable.
De Kat Memwa DJ set
Ghent sounds from Russia via Sweden: tune selections to mellow the minds, obliquely and provocatively.
