K Á R Y Y N

The artist, who’s of Syrian-Armenian heritage, recently dropped her debut EP, the celestial and emotionally charged two-tracker ‘Quanta 1’, which recalls the likes of FKA Twigs, Arca and Holly Herndon, its lead track ‘Aleppo’ describing the experience of seeing a city she once knew reduced to rubble. No surprise Björk’s a fan.

‘Quanta 1’ is out now
