Kassie Krut – the new project featuring Kasra Kurt and Eve Alpert (of the defunct Philly experimental outfit Palm) and Matt Anderegg (Mothers, Body Meat) – have signed to Fire Talk. To mark the news, they’ve shared a new single called ‘Reckless’, which is accompanied by a Guy Kozak-directed video filmed at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Check it out below.
“‘Reckless’ is an exercise in restraint,” the band explained in a press release. “We challenged ourselves to write a song with one bass note, one drum beat and just a couple simple chords. Sometimes we experience self-doubt so it was fun to create a tougher version of ourselves – someone who’s fast and mean – as well as playing w the misconception that Kassie is an individual and not a band. Also our project name is a little strange so we took the opportunity to spell it out for the listener.”
“The idea of a museum visit came early on, as did the idea of the name spelled out with hands and signage,” Kozak added. “I like that the track works as a sort of introduction to the band, and I wanted the video to work in a similar way. I love this song!”
