European premiere

There are many ways to describe Kinlaw’s symbiotic practice: as that of an artist, a vocalist, a choreographer, a performance artist, and a researcher of psychoacoustics and neuropsychology, to name a few. She combines these divergent practices into a singularly entangled approach, creating unlikely coalitions in both her methodology but also in the ways that sounds coalesce in her kinetic music. On forthcoming sophomore album, gut ccheck (2025) on Bayonet Records, co-written with Carlos Hernandez, delicate and harmonious chamber pop is transposed with whirling and energetic industrial tracks – creating an unfolding sense of movement and stillness, battling an eternal tug of war. Her approach to lyric writing takes physicality and gesture as its foundation: “Almost every time I dealt with anger around language, my fix was to move,” she says. This nascent energy comes to a head in Kinlaw’s live shows, which are part choreography, part popstar, and part chaos – fusing her electrifying calisthenic electronica with theatrical staging and unbridled movement. Kinlaw brings the European premiere of a new performance centered around gut ccheck to Rewire 2025.
