LOUISE CHEN
This one is brand new, it was recorded live at a Paris club called le Badaboum and transmitted live on french radio Nova (which is a big big deal). I was crazy nervous and the sound guy didn’t take me seriously, so the first track I played is actually missing from the recording because he fucked up my set up. You can even hear on one track I played that was a record, that he didn’t plug the MK2 in properly so you only hear the song on one side… This is all nerdy but basically I felt pressure and the conditions were tough but I am genuinely very happy and proud of this mix. It makes me want to dance and sing and smile – I can only hope it will make my friends and strangers want to do that too.

DROOL ALBUM FILM
DROOL
AUDIO VISUAL ALBUM
TERRIBLE RECORDS
DROOL introduces a new music series which offers an intimate exploration of the collaborative process between artists.
The audio-visual album created by Cara Stricker and John Kirby, LA Born keyboardist, producer and songwriter best known for his work as part of Sébastien Tellier, Blood Orange, Kindness and Rodriguez.
The 11 track Album is be available through custom cassettes and digital international release. Upon purchase of the custom cassette, an individualised love note allows access to download and view the 40-minute film and album at
www.drooling.co.
A natural progression from the previous collaboration between Cara Stricker and John Kirby, ‘ Make Love to the World’, DROOL’s music seeks to examine sex as a concept of experiential utopia, rather than the form in which it exists in humanity, isolated.
It’s a dream-like space where you can experience a very open-minded way of living without the boundaries that our logical world has placed on us, exploring the conversation of universal consciousness, beyond sexism, toward sex, equality and unity.
Stricker and Kirby have lived, created and experienced their evolving art, performing a collaborative piece at New York Fashion Week and Sugar Mountain Festival in Australia and side shows alongside artists Connan Mockasin, Ariel Pink, Swans, and Kim Gordon.
DROOL is performed by Cara with a legion of female tranquility. Stricker performs with instrumentalists Madeline O’Moore, Margot, Kate Silver and Sonja Mauro. The sound lends itself to instinct and intuition, capturing the delicate sensual nature and expression of this project coming to be.
The Album launch in New York, took place amongst an instillation and performances at The Hole, Elvis Guest House, Babies alright, and Max Fish, with select performances across LA, and Aus.
