Kate NV

Russian musician Kate NV (a.k.a. Ekaterina Shilonosova) is a multi-faceted artist who slips between genres like the costumed characters she inhabits in her photos and videos. Her latest solo album Room for the Moon (RVNG Intl.) is a one-woman show with a cast of characters singing in five different languages set against neon-hued backdrops of electronic hooks. NV wears influences on her sleeves that include Japanese City Pop and cartoons that shaped her as a child such as the uncensored version of Sailor Moon, discussed at length in this interview. She waves an entirely different flag as the vocalist/guitarist of post-punk group Glintshake, and provides some tantalizing hints about the new music she's hoping to release in 2021.
