Kuro, taking their name from the Japanese word for "black", present their debut release for Rocket Recordings, marking an experimental union between two diversely storied yet inherently like-minded musicians. Agathe Max, who hails originally from Lyon, is a classically-trained violinist with a varied back catalog of studio and live work. From spectral ambience to stately soundscapes. Max is adept at summoning dream states and drama alike. Her emotive and engaging work has found admirers at a number of UK festivals. Gareth Turner maintains a busy schedule performing and recording with Rocket Recordings trio Anthroprophh, bass/drums duo Big Naturals and his solo double-bass project Salope. Despite both of these artists's multi-faceted artistic lives, their partnership was both a natural progression and reflective of their intuitive chemistry. The result of their initial spark is perhaps both artists's most coherent and captivating work to date.
