"Me & You" releases June 2, 2023

‘Me & You’ is Betty Hammerschlag’s first Transatlantic venture. It’s made up of unwound and reconstituted pop fragments, spun out and stretched and remoulded to hypnotise. It captures the gloss and sentiment of mass-audience chart-toppers, pitch-perfect music calibrated for maximal emotional resonance, and refracts it to dazzling, intimate effect.

Opener ‘Boyfriend’ is pure pining, a swarm of stomach butterflies in flight. ‘Focusedd’ floats a breathy Bieber vocal shard over a circuitous Harry Styles acapella, made weightless by delicate synth caresses. It’s imperfect and warm, like reconstructed memories. The golden-pink haze of ‘You Know Wassup’ stands as the EP’s centrepiece, a swoon-inducing soft-focus heartstopper made to sigh to. These songs caress and pulse with new life, synthetic pop outputs rendered organic. Pure feeling.

Me & You

Betty Hammerschlag - Bodiesss

The 36th release of katharsis is the EP “be there” by Belgian artist leop4rdi, coming out on September 4th. Throughout its six tracks, the artist shows off his unique blend of granular synths, etheric vocals, emo guitar riffs, and smashing rocky drums. This infusion of his cute kitsch vibes with obscure spiritual icons and cryptic intelligence results in a unique aesthetic represented on the artwork created by label boss jjjacob.

The EP is the second full release by the Brussel-based artist, following his stellar EP “a process of learning and understanding” on the magnificent label and collective Soul Feeder in January this year. His alternative approach and very personal style shine through on “be there” as well, the titles of the tracks representing intuitive associations from the artist's mind. 

The second single is premiered right here, the downtempo & bouncy though aggressively distorted track "Focus!" with a feel of melancholic overtones and struggling attention.
