Music News: Mr.Kitty Releases “Realms”; Free Download

Arlington, Texas-based electronic artist Mr.Kitty, fresh off of his appearance on Vans Warped Tour with Boston’s Sweetdiculous, has completed his latest release “Realms” — a four-track EP that mixes influences from synth-pop legends of the 80’s with modern electronics and mastering. Kitty, who has also shared the stage with Crystal Castles, believes “Realms” is his best work to date.

“It blows all of my other releases out of the water,” said the 19-year-old solo artist.

Kitty, whose real name is Forrest Carney, has been making electronic music for over eight years, putting out over 30 releases of breakcore, 8-bit, and IDM tunes. Only within the past year, however, did he begin adding vocals regularly to his songs. Realms, said Carney, “incorporates shiny synthesizers, haunting vocals, and drums contaminated with heavy reverb.”

In March, Carney released “D E A T H”, a 15-track full-length of dark electronics and powerful vocals. The album caught the attention of electro thrashers Sweetdiculous, who invited Carney to perform with them on this summer’s Vans Warped Tour. After playing dates in Darien Center, Boston, and Hartford, Carney returned to Arlington, where he put the finishing touches on Realms.

This EP, unlike past Mr.Kitty albums, is influenced by the likes of New Order and Depeche Mode, or, as Carney puts it, “music my mother used to listen to.” Carney and manager Dan Horgan hope Realms will be the breakthrough to the electronic masses the pair have been looking for.

“The formula has been proven over and over again with Mr.Kitty – the more people who hear his stuff, the more who become die-hard fans,” said Horgan. “It won’t be long before Mr.Kitty becomes a household name in the music world.”
