US electronic musician and vocalist Mari Kattman has issued a video for ‘Typical Girl’, the opening song on her new album Year Of The Katt, released in late June by Metropolis Records. The clip was shot in downtown Providence (Rhode Island) by Mark Allison of @401FilmsPVD.

“Typical girl. People say it constantly, so much so it feels almost criminal to be female by birth,” Kattman states when explaining the meaning of the song. “Like it’s vulgar or something to carry characteristics that are even remotely female. That it makes you difficult, unlovable or crazy when it’s not packaged up and tied with a pretty bow or something. There are so many misunderstandings about what it is to be a woman.”

Electronic musician and vocalist Mari Kattman is known for her work as part of the electronic duo Helix as well as a solo artist in her own right. ‘Sharp Shooter’ is the second single to be teased from a new album entitled Year Of The Katt, her debut full-length solo release for Metropolis Records (and third overall), which is scheduled for release on 20th June.

“‘Sharp Shooter’ explores the theme of an intelligent soul that navigates to painful circumstances for the chance to grow. No shots missed”, states Kattman. The song follows the recent ‘Anemia’ STREAM, which drew a parallel between vampiric exploitation and the weakness often suffered by those living with the condition.

Of the new album as a whole, she explains that “finishing it was a truly herculean effort. It was an album completely recorded, composed and produced by myself, so there were a lot of learning curves and things I needed to sort out before I was truly happy with the end product. I feel relief and enormously proud that I got it done.”
One of the most captivating artists on today’s electronic music scene, Kattman has been writing, recording, producing and performing since 2012. She has collaborated with the likes of Assemblage 23, Mesh, Ivardensphere, Jean-Marc Lederman, Psy’Aviah, Aesthetiche, Neuroticfish, BlackCarBurning, Cassetter, This Morn Omina, Solitary Experiments, Mephisto Walz, Aiboforcen, Interface, Comaduster and more.

Kattman’s impressive resumé of vocal contributions for these acts bely her own talents as a songwriter and producer. Singles such as ‘Fever Shakes’, ‘URGOD.AI’ and ‘Swallow’ have already demonstrated her prowess in crafting hook-laden, irresistibly catchy electronic songs tailor-made for the dance floor, where elements of Trap, Hip Hop, Electro, Ambient, EBM and Industrial music interplay with her powerfully distinctive voice.

Metropolis Records is thrilled to welcome Mari Kattman to its family of artists. Known for her work as part of the electronic duo Helix as well as in her own right, ‘Anemia’ is the first single to be lifted from her third solo album, Year Of The Katt, which is scheduled for release by the label in late June.

A pounding kick drum and bassline introduce a softly seductive vocal and an ever-intensifying lead synth line on a song that draws a compelling parallel between vampiric exploitation and the weakness often suffered by those living with anemia.

“This song stemmed from my own current iron deficient state, which is an extremely frustrating condition that can take a year or more to correct,” explains Kattman. "I thought that the context needed to make it onto the album, and it was actually the last track I wrote for it while I was completing the mixing of all the other songs. I’m glad it made it on there!”
