"Pigmented Reality," slated for release on Friday, May 3, 2024, marks the first full length release from enigmatic artist Kate Pending. A carefully crafted 12-track record, this album is an eloquent expression of her sound and versatility. The album's palette can be likened to an eclectic blend of influences, from ethereal vibes similar to Elder Island and Little Dragon, to deeper electronic tones like Christian Löffler and Jacob Groening. There are many parallels that can be drawn with Kate's sound, which speaks to the level of electronic sophistication the package offers. Whilst some tracks bring an element of edgy, synth-driven energy, others take a more progressive or laid back route creating a fusion of genres that Kate navigates with finesse. Throughout "Pigmented Reality," Kate makes full use of the long form album format. Each track is a careful movement in a different musical direction, blending more organic and synthesized sounds to create a rich, thematic experience. Additionally, we have 2 remixers. Berlin-based Iron Curtis provides two Electro tinged breaks reworks of "Pigmented Reality", featuring the stripped back maximalist sound we come to expect from him. VOID LOOP ( ) also created a tastefully flipped version of "Status Quo". Pulling the original into a more 4x4 template but with a carefully crafted eccentric groove. Overall the variety of this package is its main strength, offering different ideas and vibes whilst keeping it all tied together.
