KUNZITE
KUNZITE is the exciting new project from producers Mike Stroud
(RATATAT) and Agustin White (White Flight). Blending electronic,
psychedelic, beat-heavy production with other-worldly vocal harmonies
and live instrumentation, the duo is following up their debut album
(BIRDS DON’T FLY) with brand new music in 2020, along with their
very first live shows with a full band.
Stroud is based out of the Catskills of NY, while White resides on the
island of Kauai. Longtime friends since their early 20s, having toured
together during past projects, the pair only recently started KUNZITE
as a long-distance collaboration, emailing the songs that would become
their first album back and forth across the Pacific Ocean. The
chemistry was immediate and their collaboration deepened significantly
while making the second album, with the duo regularly recording
together in each other’s home studios, and hopping from coast to
coast (including sessions in LA, Iceland and beyond).
As multi-instrumentalists, both producers have preferred a DIY
approach to recording themselves, comfortably trading off writing and
singing duties. With their yet to be released 2nd LP, their sound has
evolved with even deeper dance grooves and cosmic pop songs, as well
as a good portion of psychedelic instrumental tracks, of which fans of
their previous projects should find familiar, yet pushed into new
dimensions.
Lush synthesizers, laser-like guitarmonies, sub-bass frequencies and
vocoder-laced vocals morph into one another, creating a mix that is
impossible to pin down into a single genre, yet unified by its
crystallization of futuristic beats. One of the new tracks even
features the Reggae/Dub Grandmaster Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, whose
groundbreaking and alien-like approach fits right at home within the
KUNZITE sonic universe.
