Before they hit the UK in June for Outbreak Fest, King Isis will be sharing a bunch of new music.

The Oakland artist has just announced new EP shed, which follows up last year’s debut scales and will reportedly hear them taking a ‘darker, grungier’ route (the full thing is out on March 21 via Dirty Hit/No Matter).

You can hear that now with new single MONKI, which King Isis explains is “a song written in a space of rejection, pushing back against narratives and ideologies that were placed upon me to confine.

“I wrote MONKI as a sonic representation of taking up space as my full authentic self.”
