LYS MORKE is tearing down my emotional walls right now. With a voice that’s haunting, vulnerable, and passionate, set to beats that hammer into my synapses and crush them in a industrial grip. Hints of R&B mingle with trip hop and meet in a swirl of avant garde electronics. I’m watching her intense live video premiere and it’s drowning me in the most beautiful way. Her stunning EP Knife Therapy is out now on Artoffact Records and you can get it here. Right now we’re excited to share it with all of you, be prepared to go on a journey from sorrow to elation…
Each song on this EP tells a story of desire, cruel love, or loss. It is an exercise in introspection and vulnerability that reflects the therapeutic process: feeling and materializing emotions to find and rebuild oneself. Nobody teaches us how to love and be loved, and discovering this can be a tumultuous process. Some of these tracks were written long ago, and I’ve come a long way since then, but I still relate to that younger Lys who dealt with so much frustration.
