Philadelphia-based indie pop musician, Kississippi, recently played Bottom of the Hill in SF and Vernal Pools was there to grab the scoop about the tour and latest record release. Tune in on Friday, August 23rd @ 11am to hear their conversation.
Zoe Reynolds, who performs as Kississippi, began releasing music with her first official release in 2015– the widely loved EP, We Have No Future, We’re All Doomed. Since then, the playful and poignant singer-songwriter has shared an additional two albums with indie rock debut Sunset Blush in 2018 and Mood Ring in 2021.
Latest release, damned if I do it for you, refers to a recurring experience Reynolds has faced in her adult relationships, trying to navigate romantic, friendly, and professional relationships in earnest and making them work without the necessary safeguards.
Over glittering synths and masterful lyricism painting splashy portraits of the human condition, Kississippi brilliantly blends being cheeky and profound–dance-cry anthems that never quite age. The artist only continues to blaze an incredibly mesmerizing path forward–one that is all her own and proudly embraces who she is today, never missing the opportunity to throw a banger or two in the mix.
