Lys Morke’s debut EP, Knife Therapy, is a wonderful and mysterious expression of sorrow, joy, wonder, and attraction. The EP marks Lys Morke’s first release for Artoffact. Lys Morke (Irene Talló) is a singer-songwriter, producer and visual artist based in Barcelona and born in the nearby town of Terrassa. Through ambient, electronic music and dark pop, she blurs the lines between genres and invites us to explore the inner emotional world with a nostalgic look towards the 90s of PJ Harvey, Massive Attack or Tori Amos and the influence of contemporary electronica by artists such as Arca, Sega Bodega or Grimes. Whether with intimate ballads drenched in electronic landscapes – or with reggaeton, techno, autotune and thick bass sounds – her songs tell us stories of desire, cruel love and loss. An exercise of introspection and vulnerability that reflects the therapeutic process: feeling and materializing emotions in order to heal and rebuild oneself.
