Cyberghetto mermaid Kreep peddles Scandi mystery, confusion and machine gun beats
We know that KREEP hails from somewhere north in Scandinavia, is in her early twenties and is very talented and very pissed off.
She "paints, writes, sings, rhymes, produces". She tells us she's an "explorer of make-up, art, fashion, trash, pop, grunge, genders, candy, beliefs, the occult, non-words, revenge, harmony, depression."
What we think is her debut cut "Jackie Chan" arrived with the most charmingly disarming email ever. Picking up where MIA and Azealia Banks left off, it's a banger of a tune full of stomp, violent tinges and hooks to die for.
When we prodded Kreep to find out more, we got back something akin to a manifesto:
"It’s cold. You have no face. Yet. You are a skeleton. I want you. I’m a cyberghetto mermaid. I’m Kreep. Illuminated nails, in your face hair, white noise, superwomen, kittycats, Kurt, spice, and no safe house, no bio. Just a cliff. And a jump. You got me. It begins here. I will wear the mask and wings as I rise. I am in Nowhere, speeding to Everywhere. I wish for so many things. It’s crazy. This world. Where they tell us not to fuck. They fuck me. Every day."
"So when I rule, my words shall rule. And guys will listen. To the sound of my kreepy brain. You shall find me. I shall find You. But it’s getting warmer."
