Kim Bertrand is a comedian/musician from Queens, New York and Motherfaker is her latest single, released on 09/01/2023.

Completely experimental, this track combines elements of a multitude of genres to create a unique sound, unlike anything I have heard before.

Distortion plays a very heavy part in the song, giving the track a post-grunge, alternative sound. Not only are the guitars distorted, making them fuzzy yet heavy, the vocals are distorted too, almost to the point of being woolly and incoherent.

It is a very busy track, with lots going on so the listener never gets bored, and more than one play through is needed to actually hear everything this track has to offer.

The clean, funky basslines stand out massively against the chaotic music behind them and the track has an almost psychedelic vibe to it.

This track wouldn’t have been out of place in the early 90’s grunge era, but the slight industrial feel to it with the raw drums and electronic beats that also shine through, gives the track a modern twist too.

Experimentation in music should always be encouraged, and this lady is not afraid to do just that!

I would be very interested to hear what else Kim produces, and I hope that she maintains the edginess that this track shows.
