I love the mix of synths with hip hop beats. Dark and dance able.
Favorite track: Concrete Heart.

As good as this this, it’s a pale comparison to seeing her live. Easily one of the best live performances I’ve seen in recent memory.

VERSE 1:
Wouldn’t it be perfect
If we froze time?
Our quantum death
Moment refine
You’re my genesis to revelation
Calculate
Our apocalypse
We’ll decimate
Our souls remixed
Eternally reacting ’til we cease to exist
VERSE 2:
Out from the blackness
Reverse big bang
You were heartless
Without a name
Star born lovers
From dust we came
Out of phase
Divine descent
We can just erase
Our worlds augment
Subatomic remains
We’ll fade without a trace
CHORUS:
Collapse
Implode
Relapse
Corrode
Carbon black we will burn
From nothing we return
(sample) Why should I live in history huh? I don’t want to know anything anymore. This is a world where nothing is solved. Someone once told me ‘time is a flat circle, everything we’ve ever done or will do, we’re gonna do over and over and over again.

Concrete Heart

VERSE 1:
I want to relate
Try to excavate
You red and you raw
Through metal and bone
To see what’s inside
My Jekyll and Hyde
To find me a heart
I’ll keep it alive
CHORUS:
Crush our Embers
Bleed into me
Bound forever
Make my concrete heart
VERSE 2:
So come on with me
Through violence supreme
Through fire and the smoke
Creation provoke
Mix blood with my ash
Your skin laced with sand
Through sickness and health
Organically dealt
You’ll drown in the coal
Forever we’re whole
Our fossilised love
It’s taking control
Our ceaseless embrace
Affection encased
'Til ruin and silence
Falling in grace
BRIDGE:
This vow solidify
Our limitless
Our never-ending bond
These charcoal chains inside
Will never be apart

On the Attack
03:21
|

|
VERSE 1:
Messed up generally
Insane definitely
Higher chemically
Broken medically
Backward socially
Shallow mentally
Debauched openly
Reckless totally
Turn it up
CHORUS:
Out of line
By design
Not going back
We’re on the attack
Devour famously
Corrupt openly
Modern tragedy
We ain’t nobody
Not a basic bitch
BRIDGE:
Oh hey let’s play
You think you’re ready for war
We’ll keep it real for sure
Just fight keep tight
We’re on the hunt for sound
Light up get down
CHORUS:
Out of line
By design
Not going back
We’re on the attack
OUTRO:
Turn up get down
So let’s get loud
We’re on the attack

Verse 1
Don’t wanna wake up alone
Going to the club
Breaking my own unease
Come home with me
You’re my temporary plan B
Don’t want autonomy
Only feel alive
With you beside my side
That’s right I’m T H I R S T Y
Verse 2
Let’s tangle ’til we forget
That we’re strangers planning on regret
Our lives reset
Taking 'til I pass out
Cast desire into me
Can’t tie my down
Infinitely free
Won’t compromise
So T H I R S T Y
Middle 8
I don’t wanna go home
You can’t make me go
Don’t wanna go home
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go home
You can’t make me go
Don’t wanna go home
I don’t wanna go home
‘coz I’m thirsty

about
Amelia Arsenic is a visual artist and fashion designer originally from Sydney but now based in London. Having toured extensively throughout Europe and the USA since 2007 as a musician and DJ, Amelia now presents her solo project; a singular vision of broken and beautiful sounds and personal yet playful lyrics.
The sounds of Amelia Arsenic are an infectious injection of high-energy beats infused with feminine allure. Her debut EP "Carbon Black" is a genesis of fresh electronic sounds drawing from hip hop, electro and industrial music. Switching between melodic and spoken vocals, the lyrical themes go from party-mode to provocative pathos effortlessly, painting a self-portrait within an underground zeitgeist.
A cataclysmic big bang of music and style, Amelia Arsenic comes out from the blackness with harsh beats for dark times.

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved

You and I Will Never Die
by KANGAsupported by 81 fans who also own “Carbon Black”
Finally saw Kanga last night in Austin. Amazing and even more energetic than I had expected. The sound was terrific! This is my favorite album thus far but, she keeps getting better. The tracks on this album are arranged (to me) in a way where life is given to the next. It's hard to pick a favorite. Home and Touch! 🖤

"Reveal" fits a huge amount of diversity in a very small number of original tracks. The title track is an emotional piece that carries a special meaning thanks to its guitar-less composition and powerful lyrics.
