-Discography- - Dream On Dream on is about loss and the thin line between life and death. The track is dirge-like, a repetition of the kind we do in grief, when our brains latch onto and replay phrases that give comfort. If there is a resolution offered within the lyrics, it’s that there is no enduring division between those who have gone and those who remain: we will all be lost forever, soon enough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1616850657488-X2CM2DIFNCA07KZ5JNK0/Send+me+away.jpeg -Discography- - Send me away Send me away is an electro-punk track about the relationship between anger and insanity. Kirini’s hyper-verbal lyrics question the legitimacy and purpose of her rage, alluding more broadly to the cost of women’s anger: the way in which it is understood as invalidating their perspectives, the way in which it can provoke dangerous reactions. The instrumentation is dense and frenzied, growing more complex and chaotic as the track builds. Rob has brought his usual delicate touch to the production, lightly balancing vocals against multiple pulsing basses and drum tracks both analog and digital. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1616850637180-ZBU9UTQOC9K02EOM7TTY/It%27s+a+test+single+cover.jpeg -Discography- - It's a test Kritters’ latest single, It's a Test, is about self-control as survival tactic, and the self-editing we've all done at one point to avoid scaring people away with our (totally normal) wants or needs - trimming our personalities, holding our breath, curtailing our own lives. Who hasn't had a relationship like that? It's a dynamic that's present in wider, structural relationships, too - out of power groups do all kinds of self-editing to avoid scaring in-power groups, because scaring them can have terrifying results. Accompanying the release is an ambitious video which brings eight canonical artworks to life, reimagining the women subjects as empowered and more fully human. Some engage in destruction, some seek escape, and some take revenge. Like real people, and not vessels for the egos of male artists. Lead singer/songwriter Kirini O.K. is also a visual artist, and the video is fueled by her outrage at the tyranny of male genius in art history and present. Kritters are strong adherents of a philosophy they call D.I.YES, which in practice means they designed and built the sets, created the costumes, and filmed and edited the video entirely themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1613851133531-P4NTOAHAOY7E89ZTTPMK/MYR+Single+Cover.jpeg -Discography- - Maybe you're right The track Maybe you’re right is a smouldering, churning, escalating ode to running away from your problems. The track balances ecstasy and catastrophe, with Kirini’s deadpan lyrics and deceptively sweet vocals anchored by Steadman’s idiosyncratic analog percussion. Maybe you’re right is the second single off of Kritters’ upcoming EP, It’s a Trap, which ruminates on self-imposed isolation: fitting material for the lockdown conditions under which it was written in spring 2020. It’s a Trap is about the constraints we accept in order to survive: the useful lies we tell, the faltering friendships we tend, and the many ways in which we opt to shrink our lives simply because the world is a lot less scary if you make it really, really small. Written about her post-university life in the small city of Oxford, U.K., songwriter and lead vocalist Kirini O.K.’s songs grapple with the private torment of maintaining the pretense of happiness, and how threats lurk in all corners when one's happiness is fragile: even blue skies might be a trap. In the claustrophobic world of It’s a Trap, escape is hard to contemplate and even harder to achieve; to survive here is to dwell in escapist fantasies, to drive without destination and assiduously avoid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243555398-54RMJYXWKI0OUVLJBP2T/Ride+Cover+Bandcamp.jpg -Discography- - Ride The track Ride contemplates the self-protective avoidance we do when we are in untenable situations: escapism, rather than escape.

Songwriter and lead vocalist Kirini O.K. and producer Rob Steadman deliver tightly crafted, insistently rhythmic, genre-agnostic music that is mordantly funny, exuberantly angry, and unrestrained by the very loss, betrayal and disappointment it lays bare. Recorded during the spring 2020 lockdown in NYC and mixed later in the year in London, Go To School is an album of its moment and generation, unflinching in its scrutiny of all the ways that life schools us. It hurts to grow up, say Kritters. “Scream as you go, it makes it easier.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243501893-SIZUMVNKFANT6O7X41ND/future+past.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243617786-AZF817MODMXDJOUD4J1W/stornoway-farewell-album.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611244425450-OL77SHYB0HZTCB9BH3EX/stornoway+man+on+wire.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243500581-4VV7U5IM1SQ4CMUDGCT5/Bonxie_Unplucked.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243501210-9PMFG3ZSPW8ZW07QC6I3/Bonxie.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243502733-X1VOBQ46VT5R88JAJWNI/You%2BDon%27t%2BKnow%2BAnything.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243502714-81Y91VU69UMK6EFZP0Z1/Tales%2BFrom%2BTerra%2BFirma.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611244417119-WC8ALXMN9IR1RV372NOI/stornoway+4ad+single.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611244410466-GP7ZSE8BCGR3O0VDGHVA/stornoway+4ad+sessions.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611244625475-QRYPVZPW26M07F69WSSR/stornoway+i+saw+you+blink+single.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243500548-KQFB6I6O1GXAV1GTXEFK/Beachcomber%27s%2BWindowsill.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243501205-IHCHE8DH9ZJORR3TVFHG/Duke%2BBradley%2B-%2BWaiting%2BFor%2BTeeth.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243502368-2KWFAKYW8V3YZM3C3VWV/Rainbow%2BReservoir%2B-%2B400%2BImperfect%2BRhymes.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611244630196-1ZZWMY0NEZCC4XHJG63T/stornoway+unfaithful.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611244398647-QYI9HC29RAWVIMBFSZOL/stornoway+zorbing+single.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611244010649-6CKVUXLQC6RRWKYTBGE2/stornoway+on+the+rocks.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243783277-3K4N3JASXNJAZRHPIP52/stornoway+letters+from+lewis.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611243765139-NJTD6JDLMTE4MKS0CO77/stornoway+early+adventures.jpg -Discography- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577c1dafe3df28703ba2e387/1611263755513-MDA472QX2YRX0FECKEHT/Logo.jpg -Discography-
