about
Kikuyu is a micropop project by Melbourne artist Sez Wilks. Building on five years as a vocalist and synth player for The Surly Mermaids, Kikuyu sees Sez establish her own small-scale lo-fi style. As Kikuyu, Sez loops warm vocals and wartime diva harmonies with the fuzzy in-built beats and bright tones of an Italian combo organ. The result is a melodic game-style soundtrack for life’s everyday moments. Kikuyu’s debut album is being recorded and mixed by producer/engineer Joe Hammond at Pots and Pans Studio, with funding assistance from Arts Victoria. When not performing as Kikuyu, Sez moonlights as one-fifth of experimental pop band Aleks and the Ramps. Kikuyu is influenced by: Vintage organs. Coco Rosie. múm. Rainbow Arabia. Dick Bruna. Shouting into a piano with the sustain pedal down. Barefoot sprinting. Parlour games. Today. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
