In 2021, K.Flay was busy dropping two critically acclaimed EPs that helped the GRAMMY-nominated alt rock mastermind excavate the inner workings of her brain to tackle her own personal moments of shame, confusion and self-worth. Today she brings together the two EPs to create the deluxe edition Inside Voices / Outside Voices collection (via BMG), also featuring two new tracks to round-out an album that is shape-shifting in styles, unapologetic in lyricism, and achingly vulnerable.
Tracks like ‘Nothing Can Kill Us’ (a “rock banger” according to NME), ‘TGIF’ (“a nu-metal anthem” featuring Tom Morello according to Stereogum), and ‘Four Letter Words’ (a “rocked-out kiss-off to those who would take away from her accomplishments” according to Billboard) are joined by a pair of new tracks: ‘The Muck’ (a singalong about the pitfalls of trying to crawl out from underneath life’s bullshit) and ‘Good To Drive’ (a delectably bizarre slow-burn about trading in our vices for something stable to sink our roots into).
The Chicago-born K.Flay’s near-undefinable combination of dark-electro soundscapes, art-pop sensibilities, spitfire rhymes, industrial rock backbone and versatile vocals has led the songwriter/artist/multi-instrumentalist to two GRAMMY nominations (Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for ‘Every Where Is Some Where’, and Best Rock Song for ‘Blood in the Cut’), tours alongside Grouplove, Imagine Dragons & Thirty Seconds To Mars, and festival appearances at ACL Fest, Bonnaroo, Coachella, Treefort, and Riot Fest.
K.Flay will be touring the UK with PVRIS throughout their May 2022 UK tour.
