Kat Larios performs "Mutable Mutineer"/"Kitty Cannibal"

KAT LARIOS performing at Woodstock's Alchemy Cafe, June 7, 2009. Her debut CD, "Bathos In Aqua", can be purchased on CD Baby. / Review in Chronogram magazine: "There's a world of difference between trying to be an eccentric artist and innately being an eccentric artist. I believe Kat Larios to be weird-wired. Envision Tracy Chapman, Tiny Tim, and Little Jimmy Scott in some David Lynch/carny-esque scenario and youll have something akin to the musical side of Bathos in Aqua. This acoustic Kingstonite (NY) is a minor-chord minimalist, relying mostly on freakish warblings and lone instruments—ukulele, accordion, guitar, organ—to produce 13 hypodermic tunes with simplistic strummings and unnerving, repetitive strains. Larioss sparsely spaced guest artists on this record include Grasshopper (Mercury Rev) on clarinet, and cellist Jane Scarpantoni (Lou Reed, REM, 10,000 Maniacs). After hearing 20 seconds of track one, this reviewer was riveted. Then came the lyrical doppelganger, sucked screaming from the muse of confusion. Larios is a smacking wordsmith, a madmans puzzle prophet, offering a refrigerator magnet-poetry acid trip brimming with ill-iteration and tongue-tripping wordplay: Oh console / fold-out molting / high-end hole / eat-in quarantine (from Molting Consultant); Gotta rot, go carve a notch / wretched wrist / demolish watch / tick-tock uneven (from Gray Area). Readers, dont be stupid enough to ignore a paragon of profundity when its staring you in the kisser. --Sharon Nichols
