The shapeshifting multimedia artist ventures into pop with a concept album that stages arch critiques of art and consumerism within a retro arcade game.

there’s something about kilo’s music that makes me feel like im playing a video game. she tells a story
'AMERICAN GURL' is the excellent sophomore album from amazing artist Kilo Kish, it took a while but it's finally here.

Expertly produced and with a lot of sound cohesion, the singer/producer released tracks that exude life and fun, yet it has its serious points. There's a resilience into this music, like a sonoric durability, that means it will get old very very well.

I feel like such a sassy bitch when i listen to this. she's never come out with something this aggressive and I hope that she doesn't let off in future projects as this was a pretty enjoyable listen.
