“For years New York’s Katie Battistoni has been publishing intimate recordings of her savvy, smartass songs under the name Katy The Kyng. For her new album Selfies Of You, set for release through Ryley Walker’s Husky Pants label, she seems to be taking things in a full-band direction. Lead single “Shithole” is a minute and a half of scrappy guitar-pop with sharp edges — a little bit Liz Phair, a little bit GBV — and it descends into a little cartoonish keyboard action at the end. “I’m a shithole, baby,” she sings on the chorus.” –stereogum

“Haunted by a mysterious woman with a brown paper bag for a head, guitarist Kirsten Carey created Throwaway, an angular post-punk band that acrobatically leaps around virtuosic riffs and unexpected rhythms. Carey's garnered a reputation as a fearless and genre-defying guitarist - she's featured as a soloist on clipping.'s track for the Rick and Morty album, praised by the Quietus as one of the highlights of the 2024 Skanu Mezs festival alongside Autechre, and opened for the Sun Ra Arkestra in duo with Tyshawn Sorey.”
