Kee Avil announces Crease, debut full-length out 11 March via Constellation Records. Also, the second single off the upcoming album Crease, "saf", has been unleashed along with a hypnotic video.
Kee Avil is the project of Montréal producer, singer, and guitarist Vicky Mettler, who is a member of Sam Shalabi’s acclaimed Land Of Kush project and has played in several other experimental, improv and noise ensembles. She is also a partner at Concrete Sound Studio, a recording studio and multidisciplinary production space in Montréal where she produces Live in Concrete, an online live performance series featuring Montreal artists. But all of these other activities fall away here, as space is cleared for the song sculptures formed under the banner of Kee Avil.
Led by Montréal producer Vicky Mettler, Kee Avil combines guitar, voice, electroacoustics and electronic production to create song assemblages that teeter on the edge of collapse while oozing forward, like sticky resin picking up and shedding disparate elements along the way. Kee Avil evolved from playing the guitar with broken cymbals and drumsticks to forging askew tempos and templates glued together by samples of screws dropped into crystal bowls. Her self-titled debut EP, released in 2018 on Black Bough Records, harnessed her improvised music and prepared guitar background toward a newfound structural sensibility and arresting vocal/lyrical experimentation; she has been immersed in the exploration of distinctive compositional architectures ever since, expanding her sonic palette with increasing and intensive detail, where twitchy, finely wrought postpunk electro-industrial avant-pop songs are meticulously assembled to resemble disassembly.
