Sreda Mix: Kate NV

With her recently released third album Room for the Moon alluding to Japanese music and Soviet children’s movies and TV shows, Moscow-based pop experimentalist Kate NV has cemented her position as a compelling and singular voice in songwriting today. For the first instalment of the Sreda mix series, she crafts an hour of whimsical pop songs and angular off-kilter instrumentals. “I called this mix ‘The Crouching Tigger’. It is a combination of guitar madness and delicate pop. Tigger, though a goofy character, is still a tiger. So is the music in this mix – at times it’s completely outlandish and harsh, but still extremely gentle. And there’s also my favourite part from Prokofiev’s Scythian Suite, which goes well with the score from Neon Genesis Evangelion.”
