KANGA: industrial-pop phenom drops fourth single from upcoming new Artoffact Records album
"Ritual City," the fourth single from KANGA's upcoming new album, You and I Will Never Die, is now streaming.
KANGA states: "Ritual City is a (tainted) love letter to the City of Angels. In the depths of the city’s underground exists a sinister world that centers around an ethereal dance floor where anything is possible. A beautifully toxic relationship that pulls you in with pleasure but keeps you coming back for the pain. An ode to Los Angeles."

You and I Will Never Die is a feast of dark pop, ethereal vocals, and industrial elements. The LA-based artist/producer states: "Nine Inch Nails and Skinny Puppy are probably my biggest influences... I like to exist somewhere between a dance floor and a brooding cityscape." She reveals that the new album's lyrics illustrate "the emotional journey through a toxic relationship."
You and I Will Never Die was mixed by Justin McGrath (Nine Inch Nails) and Brett Romnes (Brand New), and mastered by Nick Townsend (Dr. Dre, Garbage).
In addition to writing and performing all her own music, KANGA is a producer and remixer whose credits include 3TEETH, Dalmation (Kristina Esfandiari of King Woman), clipping., and film scores.
KANGA was handpicked by Gary Numan in 2018 to tour the UK as main support for his 40th anniversary tour; she has also toured with The Black Queen (Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan) and more.

"[KANGA] is a unique fixture on the scene, fusing post-apocalyptic pop sensibilities with body-shaking rhythms and sinuous melodies... Her dynamic mix of production, songwriting, vocal melodies, and synth create a lush, highly-danceable tapestry."
–Post-Punk.com
"Hard industrial, future pop, neo-electronica, moments of technical stillness, then club ecstasy, the album is many things and one thing as well: a singular vision, KANGA's voice the equilibrium balancing each aesthetic."
–New Noise
"LA dark-pop artist KANGA, whose nocturnal-industrial sound lands somewhere between Ladytron and Nine Inch Nails..."
–Flood
"Dark-tinged yet highly catchy pop... balances contemporary electronic sounds with traces of ’80s pop and more than a little darkwave and industrial influence."
–Treble
"You and I Will Never Die, the forthcoming album by KANGA... is shaping up to be one of the defining releases of 2021. Another pulsating industrial-pop banger from the Los Angeles artist."
