The Soft Bulletin Report
It started as my awe inspired response on discovery of The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips. I've echoed fragments of lyrics, melodies and the sometimes brittle sonic quality of that epic album. I've mashed it up with strange fm signals that my amp received transmission of, field recordings of my street from my window back in Camberwell and surprisingly for me, a single take piano part!
Eventually it turned into an audio visual essay. I had tucked away, some re-filmed segments I'd made with my camcorder, from The Act of Killing by Joshua Oppenheimber and Krapps's Last Tape by Samuel Beckett for Patrick Magee and I mashed in those with some footage I'd shot on Walworth Road.
"And it goes so fast, you think of the past.
Oh to realise, something is ending.
Is this now the prize? The limits now are none.
Being drunk on your plans, above our heads they hang.
It's gaining traction, it's all the rage.
We understand you're broken, these are our thoughts unspoken.
We understand you're broken, these are our thoughts unspoken."

A Short Film About Love
SE London based recording artist Kmoto, spent the last few years since the confines of the pandemic searching internally for her own sense of self with her first EP Here and Now, and is now about to deliver three tracks from a forthcoming EP that challenges her previous Alt Country palette.
Celebrating Valentines Day in her own inimitable style, Kmoto dropped the first rambunctious single, ‘A Short Film About Love’ in a fusion of blistering sounds about her own conflicting emotions around current horrific world/local events.
The track was originally written after a long weekend watching films made by Polish film makers, most notably Krzysztof Kieslowski, and the latest demo version of the original came about after after weeks of listening exclusively to The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Those influences make it a head long journey into a thunderous joyride of sounds.
A Short Film About Love was released on all platforms on 14 Feb 2025.
The second single from the forthcoming EP will be out on 23rd July 2025 on all digital streaming platforms.
Debut EP available on all digital streaming platforms.
12" vinyl available on Bandcamp
Here and Now is the debut EP from Australian born, London based artist Kmoto. Touched by Alt Country, Americana and misty-ladened Indie Pop, her debut owes a lot to Beck, Radiohead, PJ Harvey and Aldous Huxley. Loaded with 5 tracks of extraordinary beauty, the organic & dynamic instrumentation. Lyricism & wordplay paint pictures that are inspired by her fascination with the desert; beckoning you to come along for the ride. From the title track to the simple journey's end with That’s Not Country Fair, Kmoto keeps you pressing replay on a voyage of evolving discovery evoking connections between realities and long forgotten memories in a fashion rarely experienced on a debut. Jump in and enjoy the Here and Now but know that the future possibilities are endless.
