Kat and The Hurricane Get Out their debut record.
Madison, WI's Kat and The Hurricane have released debut album Got it Out independently on the day you're reading this. This is an all-queer band who has built a strong community following playing shows over the last seven years. I myself don't have a pre-existing relationship with Kat and The Hurricane but I'm always looking forward to absorbing new queer art. The three piece understand the assignment they've set for themselves here in terms of sonics. Opening track "Therapy" starts on a low-key synth and vocal piece immediately repeated with the full band treatment. While there is a nice blend there is an equal distinction and when they go all in, it's is all in . "Caffeine & Alcohol" sees vocalist Kat Rhapsody really go in on the classic synthpop melodies and does some vocoder riffing where the love of the genre really comes through. While I do think Kat and The Hurricane certainly know what they aim to sound like it would be dishonest
