Kathleen

Kathleen is a band from the Pacific Northwest, originally formed in Astoria, Oregon. Their song 'August' became particularly well-known, appearing on their 2013 debut album of the same name. They've also released tracks like 'En Dedans' and 'Tu T'en Fais Pas' that fit with their atmospheric approach.

The group's lineup has included Katy Perry on vocals, Dave Katz on guitar and keyboards, and Aaron Sterling on drums. Their music tends to blend folk and indie rock with some electronic textures, creating a sound that's both intimate and expansive. Albums like 'Solace' in 2016 and 'Empathy' in 2018 followed their debut, showing a consistent focus on mood and emotional resonance.

While they've faced the typical pressures of being a working band, they've maintained a steady output, releasing 'Bloom' in 2020. Their songs often explore themes of personal reflection and connection without leaning too hard on grand statements. The music feels grounded in the specific textures of their instrumentation and Perry's vocal delivery.
