After the announcement of their self-titled EP, dropping on December 6th via Fire Talk Records, Kassie Kurt have shared lead single “Racing Man.” The album was self-produced by members Eve Alpert and Kasra Kurt.

Kurt and Alpert spent their teenage years in London, whose streets and airwaves were suffused with the sounds of dub, grime, and garage. Those early encounters were soon joined by regard for SOPHIE’s candied hyperpop, Tirzah’s attitudinal minimalism, and DAF’s turn to electronic body music. Together the duo were two parts of Philadelphia rock institution Palm, who called it quits in 2023 after ten years and three-acclaimed albums. Following the split, Kurt decamped to New York with Alpert and Matt Anderegg, who produced Palm’s final record. Playing together (in person and sometimes remotely), the longtime friends and collaborators christened the current three-headed incarnation of Kassie Krut.
