Despite a lot of local respect from musicians and music enthusiasts alike, the music of Katie Kim remains relatively under the radar, perhaps because Katie is more interested in her craft than a career.
For her new single ‘Foreign Fleas’, which slipped out quietly, Katie teamed up with Ruadhan O’Meara of Magic Pockets who amps up the atmosphere of an artist who already is a master of evocative space. O’Meara’s soundtrack synth sensibility adds a heady foreboding to Kim’s sweet siren call.
