Kahlt's latest musical offering - Skirt / Dove / Lilly - swims in familiar waters of their unique monasterial and cacophonous vocal accompaniments that are forever redirecting and re-establishing their vocal identity and subject direct story telling. A new space for non judgmental self reflection, medicated like an oracle guiding personal aspirations, Skirt / Dove / Lilly is a single, raw and open ended as a fifteen minute meditation.
“He must put it out and pack it away and you’ll never go looking for it, cus’ it’s not yours.”
Lyrics at the beginning of the track breathe with the casualness of a diary entry, flowing at conception and unbothered by any further editing. Vocals loosely sewing themselves along the uncontrolled rippling of reversed guitar picks, all directing the opening into the soft landing of its droning middle. Kahlt is slowly allowing themself to pull away from the hyper-fixative and fine tuned tracks of their past work like Homebody but still being half attached by the hip to their last project Womb Room. The track closes in explosive electronic distortions, brutal and sharp, balancing that Kahltian transience.
