Atlanta-based musician Siichaq — the project and native Inuit name of Kennie Mason — independently shares her new album CATCHER.
CATCHER explores childhood trauma and cultural dissonance through grungy introspection. For Siichaq, music is a safe space where she can discuss difficult experiences and connect with others. With each listen, CATCHER pulls at different emotions.
“It was the most profound learning experience that I’ve had since I started making music. It taught me about the art of recording, but also, and maybe more importantly, about the spirit of music in general. I was guided by the most passionate, thoughtful, patient, and talented people that I know. Their unconditional love for the process modeled a kind of ‘surrender to the evolution’ attitude that I admire profoundly. It was a labor of love on all fronts, and it’s always nerve wracking to send something so personal out into the void. But I couldn’t be grateful for the experience of making CATCHER and I just hope that anyone who listens finds something meaningful to them within it.”
