Armenian-American vocalist, songwriter, composer/producer and multimedia artist KÁRYYN announces the first single ‘the REAL’, taken from her just announced Calm KAOSS! EP, due for release via Mute on 22 May 2024.
Born in the prolific period following her European tour, Calm KAOSS! was created in partnership with British record producer James Ford (Blur, Haim, Gorillaz, Depeche Mode, Florence & The Machine). The project sees KÁRYYN commune with her past, present and future selves, traveling through time to reveal transformative premonitions from the future in scientific and spiritual language.
On the EP’s lead single ‘the REAL’, KÁRYYN steadies herself in humility and a newfound power. One of the first productions from her collaboration with James Ford, the song strips away at posturing and ego, reminding us that we are all one consciousness. The song is steeped in the Sumerian poem The Descent of Inanna — a tale of a goddess who enters the realm of death in search of wisdom — and themes from the Vedic text The Upanishads, which declares: “[o]neself is a world for all beings.”
“I’ve always been an I to We person,” she notes. “What excites me is collaboration.” The track shines with both producers’ transcendent chemistry, building a limitless recording space where KÁRYYN’s vision can come to life. “There is no other,” she reminds us. “We are all reflecting one another.”
HAAi’s remix of KÁRYYN’s single, ‘the REAL’. The new remix injects the Australian electronic producer and DJ’s sonic psychedelia into the original.
‘the REAL’ recalls a heroine’s journey; a tale of her own 5-year search for wholeness. The track, co-produced with British record producer James Ford, lifts the lid on her forthcoming Calm KAOSS! EP.
“I love HAAi’s radical optimism, her spirit and her work in electronic music, so of course getting her to digest and remix my work was really exciting. She’s a total baddie in music and, like ‘the REAL’ says, we are all just recognizing ourselves in one another.” — KÁRYYN

Laibach’s classic album from 1987, Opus Dei, has been remastered and redesigned.
The album that first brought Laibach to a mass consumption audience, with their unique interpretations of Opus’ ‘Live is Life’ and Queen’s ‘One Vision’, and heavy rotation on MTV’s alternative shows and ITV’s The Chart Show. Produced by Rico Conning, it stands as a defining statement of intent and prophecy that the band continues to uphold nearly 40 years later.
The album, remastered from the original tapes, includes an extensive 16-page booklet with new text by Alexei Monroe and photos from the time. The album cover artwork has also had a distinctive redesign that draws on the original and pushes it forward.
The CD box set includes an additional CD of 16 live tracks from the Opus Dei touring that happened between 1987 and 1989.
