Uranian Void by Jessika Kenney
Uranian Void is the new solo album from vocalist, composer, and lyricist Jessika Kenney out on Kou Records. Known for her singular approach to voice and expansive collaborations (A24's Midsommar, Alvin Lucier, Eyvind Kang, Melati Suryodarmo), Kenney here turns inward, shaping sound as memory and vibration.
Blurring sine waves, hydrophone recordings, ghazal, solo instruments, and voice, the album is a meditation on resonance—where shimmer and shadow are equally alive. Produced by Randall Dunn, Uranian Void magnifies the fragile edges of perception, revealing music that bends light, sways time, and slips between walls.
An immersive and delicate work, Uranian Void invites listeners into liminal spaces where echoes of memory resound like invisible dancers, alive in reverberation itself.
The album features photography by Osage artist Keli Mashburn and artist portrait by Caroline Harrison.
