🧀 Ground Control. . . 🐀
We’re proud to welcome the otherworldly sights and sounds of .kind to our CorpoRAT Records family.
In that liminal space between dreams and nightmares resides
Starly Kind. There, the project’s mastermind, Starly Lou Riggs,
presides over a hellscape infested with demonic symbolism,
esoteric childhood lore, intrepid pan-genre explorations, stuffed
animals, chains, spikes, and white lace. Within this self-stylized
perdition, they explore the intricacies of gender in relation to
societal pressures, feeling monstrous in the wake of structured
gender roles and expectations.
Starly Kind is the culmination of Riggs as a multi-hyphenate
creative: a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, journalist, visual
artist, among other things. To date, Starly Kind has released a pair
of singles and a live EP, and performed throughout Brazil and
Portland, Oregon where they lived previously, then playing in the
doom-y griefgaze band, Death Parade.
Starly Kind invites comparisons to King Woman, Chelsea Wolfe,
Nuvolascura, and yeule. Riggs’s songs are adventurous collage
art, flirting with but never committing to emo, punk, doom,
screamo, shoegaze, new glitch, jazz, Brazilian music, and
haunting David Lynch-esque cinematic musicality. These tracks
are thrilling sojourns through challenging odd time signatures,
startling dynamic shifts, and dense textural passages featuring
clarinet, flute, and distressed samples. They are frightening,
empowering, and oddly comforting.
