ABOUT
Under the name CALLmeKAT Danish native Katrine Ottosen creates alt-pop with playful ease and a curiosity for the darker corners of the pop music spectrum. Known for her psychedelic approach and captivating live performances, her refreshing take on contemporary pop combines a woody earthiness and a soaring curiosity that leaves a lasting impression.
CALLmeKAT’s latest EP ‘Mouth Of Time’ (2016) is produced by longtime accomplice Joe Magistro (Prophet Omega), recorded in a home studio deep in the Catskill Mountains of New York State with just the two of them recording all instruments: A collection of songs tapping into themes of mortality and love driven by Magistro’s thumping drum beats, sliding guitars, Ottosen’s vintage keyboards and a voice known for setting CALLmeKAT apart from the masses.
