Biography

Kate grew up as a jazz darling, but she grew into something significantly more dynamic. Days spent practicing and performing became nights spent writing — cathartic indie rock — music simultaneously informed by and rebutting of her training. Forbidden chord progressions emerged like diary entries, documents of an internal reaction to routine. Time intended for technique slipped into secret listening sessions of Beach House, Elliot Smith and TV On The Radio. In the same bright, arresting croon that ignited her youthful stardom, Davis created confessionals. Now 29 and audibly matured, Kate is prepared to properly share the artifacts from her late night craft, a full length reaction to ritual required of perfection, an outburst from the pedestal. Throughout twelve tumultuous tracks, she poetically reflects upon the intricacies of what it is to live, ruminating on topics too close to her heart — identity, self-worth, loss. Her album, Trophy, is out now via Solitaire Recordings

4 X 4 X 4 X 4

Kate wrote this piece (like so many) amidst the pandemic and tried to channel her fears, adaption methods, and focus into a piece that reflected her emotional state. There was a sense of control in keeping things rooted in the number 4 - number of movements, number of parts, and the anatomy of the bass itself. Each mini movement explores a different response to what we are all going through and what is drastically impacting all of our lives.
