Katrina Stonehart

The nefarious redhead from Pound Puppies? Not quite. Although a slew of self-proclaimed chillwavers and tropical revivalists overtly draw inspiration from retro cartoons and other bits of childhood nostalgia, Katrina Stonehart has little in common with Neon Indian or Universal Studios Florida.

Rather, Katrina's cassette single - out on AMDISCS - is a raw, lo-fi foray into noise pop of the purest and most infectious kind (ala Wavves or Beach Fossils, for example). It's only two songs, but expect more releases from this promising artist later this summer: check out splits with Vehicle Blues and House Paint in July and August and a 7" from AMDISCS.
