KASHKA release third LP 'Relax' summer 2017

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Toronto’s KASHKA third LP, “RELAX”  
Summer 2017 release
 
June 10th, 2017 (Toronto, Ontario) - Toronto musician Kat Burns (ex Forest City Lovers) will release her third LP under the KASHKA moniker at the end of the June. [Videos: http://bit.ly/RELAXTeasers ]  Co-produced by Burns, Lisa Conway [LCON] + Andrew Collins the album is KASHKA’s most experimental to date, with themes of human connection and feminism weaving through springy synths and lush string arrangements.
 
Recorded mostly at Wildlife Sanctuary Sound, a converted studio in rural Ontario owned by Lisa Conway and Andrew Collins, the album is both sparse and rich: up front vocals, curated synth sounds and 808 drums coexist with lush string arrangements framing delicate melodies, at times explosive. Exploring themes of connection, feminism, and being "stuck", Relax draws the listener into a landscape of droney instrumentals and hooky choruses; feeling like flying while just daydreaming. It's a departure from her last single, the radio friendly 'Heavy Ghost', but a return to her roots in many ways; in Kat's words, "this came out of two years of writers block, travel, heaviness, frustration, and a lot of figuring out who I am, as a woman in this industry. It's springy, introspective, and a litlte weird. Just like me."

The album includes stellar collaborations with Valerie BroussardJames Bunton, and LCON.
