K.Flay drops new album MONO, reveals video for Punisher

K.Flay’s new album MONO is here, and there’s an animated video for Punisher – which is a song that makes you feel “powerful in a way that’s generative rather than oppressive, like a power plant or pedalling a bike”.

K.Flay has released her new album MONO today (September 15), and released a video for Punisher.

Speaking about the track in particular, K.Flay explains that, “Sometimes I love songs where there’s not a lot of mystery. You play it loud and it feels extremely good; it makes you feel tough and powerful – and powerful in a way that’s generative rather than oppressive, like a power plant or pedalling a bike.”

Elsewhere on the Paul Meany-produced MONO, K.Flay has collabed with Pierce The Veil’s Vic Fuentes (on Irish Goodbye) and Kid Sistr (on Spaghetti), and tackles an ‘entire spectrum of existential questions and complex matters of the heart and mind’ across the entire record.

“The title is partly a nod to the idea of mono versus stereo and that shift in my auditory experience, but mostly it’s speaking to the fact that your entire experience of this world is within you,” she shares. “You can view that as alienating, or you can view it as the natural circumstances of existence – something we all share. So when people hear the album, I’d love for them to come away with a feeling of strength in their aloneness.”
