"Open Fire," the latest track revealed off Kate Boy's highly anticipated debut full-length, is streaming now at Entertainment Weekly(http://bit.ly/1yWhpNS). The album's lead single "Self Control," which premiered at Pitchfork (http://bit.ly/1tWmvnh), is now available for download on iTunes via IAMSOUND/Island Records (http://smarturl.it/SelfControl). The live performance video of the track recently premiered at Noisey (http://bit.ly/1qJCEsD). Details on the album's release are coming soon.
After non-stop worldwide touring and festival appearances since the release of their 2013 debut EP Northern Lights, Kate Boy will tour U.S. this fall. The tour includes stops at The Roxy in Los Angeles and a visit to New York City for CMJ Music Marathon as well as a performance at Glasslands in Brooklyn. See below for full routing.
Kate Boy is Kate Akhurst, Hampus Nordgren and Markus Dextegen. Originally from Australia, Akhurst moved to Stockholm in 2011 with a vision for her music that she'd been unable to find. A chance encounter united Akhurst with rising Swedish producers Nordgren and Dextegen, and the three immediately realized the music that each of them wanted to make aligned perfectly. Debut single "Northern Lights" was the first song that came of their meeting.
