Hyenaz
Never content to remain static, electronic duo HYENAZ are creatures with their skin peeled off; their music is the juice that flows from their excoriated body. Comprised of Kathryn Fischer (also known as the performance artist Mad Kate) and Adrienne Teicher (recently reborn as the artist XIL), HYENAZ are passionate about electronic music and performance as a tool of political and personal transformation. In their debut self-titled album, the pair imagines themselves as hyenas manifest as transgender humanoids, scavenging on the edges of apocalypse, building bodies and identities from the civilizations detritus. Mirroring this fantasy image are the practices they deploy intensive field recordings from their environment transformed into aural landscapes both jagged and lush.
