Casey Radio's Storytellers (at the Bowlo)- Katankin

About
Katankin is the solo moniker of Melbourne indie-folk singer-songwriter and producer, Helen Catanchin. Born of Russian and Romanian migrant parents, and with a difficult, often harrowing family history, Katankin’s music is nevertheless an ode and testament to love, faith, and ultimately, hope. With her achingly pure and expressive voice, and poetic writing rich with imagery, she unflinchingly plumbs the darkest depths of the human condition. As a phonetic spelling of her Russian surname, Katankin further symbolises the acceptance and embrace of one’s true self.Her debut album "Said the Starling" is a powerful, eclectic and extremely well-crafted offering, marked by the artist’s signature poeticism, razor-sharp lyrics and uniquely expressive vocals. The songs by turns uplift and shatter; Katankin’s angelic voice tenderly caresses you one moment, before scathingly, blisteringly, slamming you down the next,in an impressive showcase of her range as both singer and songwriter.Location
