Rising artist KULT KRIMES from Portland, Oregon, has impressed in a major way with his latest release, ‘Stove Top Stuffing’. The single is taken from his newly released debut album, ‘GOOD GRIEF’, and is accompanied by a cinematic music video/short film.
The song itself is an immediate draw with its captivating experimental electronic sound. It doesn’t sound like anything else that’s currently out there, which is why it stands out so much from the first listen. The production is unique and refined while the vocals are almost hypnotic, but everything works together in perfect synergy and makes for a fascinating listen with lots of interesting twists and turns – the last minute of the track is particularly special when the beat is completely flipped. Given that the track was self-produced, it really is a testament to KULT KRIMES’ artistry and musicianship.
Elaborating further on the track, KULT KRIMES says: “I wrote this song at the height of what seemed like societal madness in America. The collective psyche came off more divided and easily manipulated than it did united or whole to me. ‘Stove Top Stuffing’ was a way for me to get out my personal frustration with not only the current climate of cultural backlash but also shed some light on the fact that we are existing in these compartmentalised digital realities. I started feeling like the convoluted paradigms we take so seriously are kind of absurd. So, really, ‘Stove Top Stuffing’ is a way for me to laugh at the whole thing.”
The track is elevated even further by its accompanying music video/short film. Directed by Jon Christopherson, the visuals are highly engaging and show that KULT KRIMES is not just an artist but a gifted visual creative too. “After finishing the album, we knew right away that ‘Stove Top Stuffing’ was the song we wanted to create a visual component for”, says KULT KRIMES.
Impressive to say the least, ‘Stove Top Stuffing’ shines the spotlight on an artist with a huge future ahead who is clearly someone to watch out for. It will be interesting to see what else he has in store over the next year, as he already brings so much fresh energy and excitement to the music scene. ‘Stove Top Stuffing’ is out to buy/stream everywhere now: https://hypeddit.com/l3myn2.
