+ Premiering a video for “Pioneer Of Love” 
directed by Samantha Shay & Victoria Sendra.

Throwing sun rays through prisms and radios down the spine through the rib cage. That’s what she does. Always exploring the mysteries of sound.

Kira Kira makes albums where recordings of carefully composed bouquets of musicians get woven in with analog synth textures and beats, but then on rare occasions like this she’ll perform solo or with a visual artist. 

Does her music sound like a score to a mesmerising Sci-fi drama? Sometimes. 

This special evening, Kira Kira is premiering a music video for a brand new song called “Pioneer Of Love” created in collaboration with her brother in music, Hermigervill. The video is directed by filmmaker mystics Samantha Shay and Victoria Sendra.

The song is the second single for Kira Kira’s 4th studio album “Alchemy & Friends” which will be released on February 23d 2018.
The album has been in the making for 5 years with 46 friends singing and playing on it. It was recorded in her studio in Berlin, live in Los Angeles and in Reykjavík.

These days Kira Kira is co-composing music for “Dream Corp Llc” alongside Canadian composer/animator Chad VanGaalen. “Dream Corp” is a wildly creative hybrid-animated sci-fi TV series on Adult Swim directed by Daniel Stessen. So there is a real possibility that some dream prankster noises will find their way through the prisms in Mengi.

But before any of that happened Kira Kira founded Kitchen Motors -A wild music collective/record label with composers Jóhann Jóhannsson and Hilmar Jensson.

Kira Kira frumsýnir myndband við splunkunýtt lag - “Pioneer Of Love” sem kemur út á fjórðu breiðskífu hennar “Alchemy & Friends” 23. febrúar. 
Lagið samdi hún með Hermigervli, en myndbandið varð til í samstarfi við bandarísku kvikmyndagerðarkonurnar Samantha Shay og Victoria Sendra.

“Alchemy & Friends” hefur verið í smíðum í 5 ár. Það syngja og spila 46 vinir á plötunni, hunangsþræðir sem voru teknir upp og ofnir saman við rafmagnsneista í hljóðveri Kiru í Berlín, með tónlistarfjölskyldu hennar The Echo Society í Los Angeles og í Þingholtunum. 

Kannski spilar Kira eitthvað af þessarri tónlist í Mengi, mögulega svolítið af plötu sem hún er að gera með LA pródúsernum Eskmo eða glimmer úr tónlist sem hún er að semja fyrir súrrealísku Sci-fi sjónvarpsþættina “Dream Corp Llc,” sem fara í loftið á Adult Swim (Cartoon Network) í nóvember, jafnvel eitthvað úr sándtrakkinu sem hún og Hermigervill gerðu fyrir kvikmyndina “Sumarbörn” sem frumsýnd verður í október -

Nema hún taki upp á því að spila eitthvað alveg glænýtt. Allt hægt, bæði best.

Miðaverð: 2500 krónur. Hægt er að panta miða í gegnum booking@mengi.net eða kaupa miða við innganginn.
