Kathryn Mohr

TICKETS

The music of Oakland-based artist Kathryn Mohr occupies a dusky liminal space of elusive auditory dissociation.

Mohr's melancholic noise folk on her new album Waiting Room (The Flenser) — where droning walls of guitar distortion blend with atmospheric field recordings and hazy vocals — was titled Best New Music in Pitchfork's glowing review earlier this year. The album, a meditative exploration of the ephemeral nature of humanity, the warping of memory, and the effects of trauma on one's experience of this world, was created over the course of a month in eastern Iceland.

In the quiet isolation of the fishing town Stöðvarfjörður, Mohr spent hours immersed in the writing and recording of this album in a windowless concrete room lit with a string of multicolored light bulbs, taking breaks to wander the shoreline, field recorder in hand. A collection of eleven songs was born, an album that is a processing of emotions often unreachable, buried, or unnamed. For fans of Grouper, kranky, JessicaBailiff, and PJ Harvey.

Kathryn Mohr takes her new album Waiting Room on a European tour this coming fall, featuring a premiere show in Prague​ on November 11.
 

„The Oakland songwriter and field recordist’s sinister, atmospheric full-length debut is all the more unnerving for its quiet, ticking-time-bomb intensity.“ — Pitchfork
