Womb Room (Remastered)
The ‘Homebody’ electronic remix album. Remastered for its one year anniversary.
Alan Lamprecht on ‘33’
“To transform an improvisation as minimal and impressionistic as its ‘once you see it’-cover art into something as tepid as a description seems to rather miss the point. But so does writing about music in general, so a trifle; ‘33’ came to me sounding like a kalimba in the remorseful guise of the piano its killed. The soft, discordant quality leaves room for a troublesome and melancholy uncertainty, with no resolution from the enigmatic title, the plea in its ambient silences, or the sentencing of the final seconds. Where is the running water, the laughter of children, the sign of grace?
I fill the space thinking of a cold moment; A look in the eyes of both the long-gone mind and the uneasy peace of the dead from ‘Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan’. Smoulders recalling the fire.”
Vocal abstractions with no mercy. Pulled from the vault.

Cover art demo. I like this because it looks like a mouth and a set of teeth.
First experimentation for the cover art.
Just before I uploaded the ep to my distributor, I took one last photo of my mouth to examine a sore throat that i was battling with. Saw the photo and uploaded it.
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.

Forgive me mother, for I have synths
Fall into Kahlt’s first exploration of electrically enhanced vocals sampled from the debut a capella album Homebody (2023). The sonic landscapes of their first offering stay rooted in this reimagined remix album Womb Room.

Homebody - the first offering
“New cells generate new hope”
When we are born, before we become aware of our body: to step with our feet or to hold with our hands - we use our voice. ‘Homebody’ is strictly an a cappella dissection of the body.
The warm flow of blood into the heart. The ecstatic shockwave of nerves: communicating at lightning speed. The levels of the subconscious, one more abstract than the other. The growling digestive tract and the elasticity of dreaming.
Twelve tracks cut deep to explore the connection between home and body.
