Kathryn Mohr has put out a new single called ‘Elevator’. It’s set to appear on the Oakland-based artist’s debut LP Waiting Room, out January 24, along with the previously unveiled ‘Driven’. Take a listen below.
“Young people are exposed to all sorts of media, without reason or care,” Mohr said in a statement about the new single. “It’s the same in life— you never expect what will happen next or how horrible it might be. One second you’re watching a nature documentary, the next moment autoplay is showing someone getting their arm ripped off in an elevator. The unexpectedness of horror, how its thrust upon you, imposed, by other people, governments, personal demons, algorithms or pure chance is a shocking to me. Sometimes I find it hard to escape the feeling that terrible things come from a sinister source, something or someone who feeds off of suffering, takes pleasure in it. It’s a really dark place to be, when I start to feel that way.”
