Multi-instrumentalist and self-produced visionary Kay Tear (kati儿) has released her dark and intimate new single, “celestial existence,” a sonically dense exploration of the lingering shadows left by an unfaithful relationship. Blending alternative R&B with glitchy soundscapes, the track showcases Tear’s “technically complex” production style, featuring chopped flute samples recorded by Robin Wong and a warm alto vocal delivery reminiscent of King Princess. The artist, known for her ability to layer “MF DOOM-style drums” alongside ambient choir arrangements, handled every aspect of the recording, mixing, and mastering herself.
