Oakland artist Kathryn Mohr's new album 'Waiting Room' represents a profound exploration of discomfort and pain, blending her grim synthesizer style with stark, atmospheric field recordings. It was notably written in an abandoned Icelandic fish factory, adding an eerie dimension to the sound. The album features unsettling contrasts between natural sounds and industrial noise, imbuing each track with a haunting quality. Mohr's sparse lyricism amplifies feelings of isolation and fear, making 'Waiting Room' a compelling meditation on confronting horror and decay through art and sound.
According to Mohr, stare it down. Succumb to it. As the album's opening line puts it, "This comfort is bad for your health."
Waiting Room integrates each kind of sound into something new, merging dark and light without diluting either element.
