about

Moscow-based producer/musician Kedr Livanskiy (neé Yana Kedrina) returns with a dance-floor-ready new EP. Her first solo release since 2021’s critically acclaimed Liminal Soul, K-Notes is an expert fusion of drum and bass, trance, and alt-pop, anchored by Kedrina’s signature crystalline vocals.

Bright and upbeat, K-Notes is more akin sonically to Kedrina's 2019 album Your Need than her recent work. Where Your Need was a neon-tinged ode to early house, dub, and breakbeat, Liminal Soul saw her infuse her electronic compositions with organic textures and hone in on her vocal technique. More recently, she chased that inspiration further and teamed up with her partner Flaty to form the indie duo Kosaya Gora, experimenting with guitar-based folk and dream pop compositions on their debut record Kosogor. Now it seems her artistic focus has once again found the dance floor, and on K-Notes she channels the sounds of her spirited live show into a dynamic new collection.

Sonically, K-Notes feels at once nostalgic and remarkably current: Livanskiy filters today’s UK revivalism through her own unique lens, shaped by her upbringing in Russia’s underground music scene and her personal love of early electronic and alternative music. Lead single “With Love K…” is a melodic drum-and-bass love song, while the trance-influenced closer “Stop This Way” sees Livanskiy’s airy vocals soaring to new heights. Bouncy synths and percussion instill tracks like “K-Notes” and “Reflex People” with a vivacious pulse.

Kedrina’s longstanding fascination with the natural world is still apparent in her lyrics, sung in her native Russian. Throughout these tracks, lovers disappear into clouds, seek shelter from the rain, and look back fondly on summers past. As always, Kedrina has a remarkable knack for world-building: her rich compositions envelop the listener in a dream-world so visceral that it transcends the barriers of language. Concise but immersive, K-Notes is a fresh dose of ebullience from an artist at the top of her craft.
