"Mohr describes Carve as an album about how memory exists outside the body, embedded in places and landscapes. It is shaped by her first return to the American Southwest since a childhood road trip at age five, and by the experience of moving through terrain that holds emotional weight long after its origins fade. The record considers how intimacy feels after years of isolation, and what it takes to carve out a life that allows for trust, presence, and feeling rather than mere survival."
"an amalgamation of dream images and visions I had throughout 2025. It's also inspired by an underground man made waterway I found that went on for miles under the city I live in. walking through, climbing 50 feet up a ladder to look out the man hole, see where I am."
Bay Area artist Kathryn Mohr announced a second LP, Carve, due April 17 via The Flenser. The album follows Waiting Room and was written over five years, then recorded in two weeks in the Mojave Desert. Carve centers on memory existing outside the body and embedded in places and landscapes, shaped by Mohr's first return to the American Southwest since a childhood road trip. The record examines intimacy after years of isolation and the work of carving a life that allows trust, presence, and feeling. The project stemmed from a difficult tour ending in Joshua Tree and was recorded alone with acoustic guitar, a field recorder, and limited supplies. The first single, "Property," blends dream imagery and real-world inspiration from an underground man-made waterway beneath the artist's city.
