“New York band channelling SOPHIE and Kim Gordon to make future-pitched industrial pop” (i-D)

“If you ask me who I wanna be - Imma spell it out so it's plain to see - K-A-S-S-I-E K-R-U-T-T-T-T”: a hand-picked line from the single Reckless, which is not only the quintessential Kassie Krut (US) anthem but also a signature song that The Guardian, Pitchfork, NPR and Mix Mag honoured with a place in their ‘Best Songs of 2024’’. Mix Mag: “Reckless is an addictive industrial pop banger.” i-D adds: "Kassie Krut’s transformation from DIY rock deconstructionists to industrial pop heads feels exciting and rare, a breath of fresh air in the form of a slashed, ecstatic sound.”

The New York-based band consisting of Kasra Kurt, frontwoman Eve Alpert and Matt Anderegg beautifully fuses minimalistic electronics, industrial pop and danceable punk explosions. Their eponymous debut EP propelled Kassie Krut into the spotlight as one of the most exciting acts around. Just like their influences – from dub to grime to garage – their live performances are all over the place. They supplement these influences with their love for SOPHIE’s hyperpop, Tirzah’s nonchalant minimalism, and EBM. The result, according to Pitchfork: “dance bangers”!
