NYC Album Release Show in June!
6/25: New York, NY @ Joe’s Pub (9:30pm)
“…sings with the sweetness of Saint Vincent and weaves a Trent Reznor-worthy web of electronics.” – Under The Radar
Canadian-born, NYC-based songstress Kim Boekbinder performs under the moniker The Impossible Girl, crafting lush, genre-defying songs that fuse elements of electronic and acoustic music. A performer, composer, and visual artist, Boekbinder made headlines in 2010 when she successfully funded her debut LP via Kickstarter and went on to pre-sell her US tour using the fundraising platform. Having built a loyal and enthusiastic following over the past few years, The Impossible Girl is back with her second fan-funded solo album, The Sky Is Calling, a celebration of humans in space. Produced by Joel Hamilton (The Black Keys, Tom Waits, Pretty Lights), the cosmic album will be released on June 21st, and is now available for pre-order here.
Album track “Fix You Good” has all the elements of a dance floor banger, with buzzing synths, an impossibly catchy melody, and a beat that begs you to move. You can download “Fix You Good” as a FREE MP3 where it premiered with PureVolume or HERE.
The Sky Is Calling launches listeners into the stratosphere with captivating pop songs that are packed with scientific themes and otherworldly sounds. Opening the album with an infectious electric energy, “Stellar Alchemist” is driven by a whirlwind of instrumentation swirling above heavy, driving percussion. Title track “The Sky is Calling” showcases Boekbinder’s sweet but commanding vocals above dense layers of instrumentation and reverberating vocal harmonies. “Hand To Mouth” is a shimmering slower cut with a melancholic tone that captures the cold, dark loneliness of outer space, while “Alien” does its title justice with a haunting, otherworldly quality that stays with you long after the song ends.
A collection of unique and diverse tracks that explore the vast world around us, The Sky Is Calling has the ability to transport listeners to a place full of mystery and adventure. Stay tuned for more from The Impossible Girl coming soon…
