James K combines shoegaze with electronic soundscapes on Random Girl

Plus “a cellphone recording from a fake tropical island on ecstasy.”

James K is releasing a new album, titled Random Girl, via Anthony Naples and Jenny Slattery’s Incienso imprint this September.

Across the 10-track record she works with electronic soundscapes, manipulated vocals, shoegaze, and “a cellphone recording from a fake tropical island on ecstasy.”

Random Girl is — cryptically — described as “a voice against infantilisation of girlhood, a decisive refutal of integrity.”

It marks James K’s first album in six years, following the release of PET in 2016.
