Don’t misunderstand, y’all: she might come off cool-as-fuck and fiercely DIY (I wouldn’t dare mess with the self-proclaimed head bitch in charge, even on a good day, would you?); but that doesn’t mean that Canadian-born, New York-based noise pop auteur Kim Boekbinder is too “cool-as-fuck” to generously share her musical gospel of love, respect, and interdependent independence with anyone in the world who’s enlightened enough to tune-in.
In fact, shit, Boekbinder’s practically a sharing MACHINE: she spearheaded her own fan-sponsored monthly subscription service (before Patreon ever even existed), has successfully crowdfunded all of her solo albums (in addition to several tours and side projects), and even recently launched her own label (Golden Glow Records).
On top of all that (and probably running a 10K and teaching some sword-swallowing lessons), she ALSO recently found time to collaborate with the ACLU, Laverne Cox, Molly Crabapple, and Zackary Drucker, in creating a short video about transgender history and resistance; and she even worked up a galvanizing video for HBIC, the infectious lead single from her forthcoming album NOISEWITCH, which is due September 8.
But nope; Boekbinder ain’t even done showering us with the fruits of her bold entrepreneurial labors yet. Just you TAKE A SEAT and check out the brand new video for her forthcoming album’s second single “The World Is Mine,” another fuzz-coated, campaign-slogan-ready banger of a track whose accompanying clip is…well, “toe-tapping” in the most unsettling way possible.
Honestly, given all this, it’s already a little late to “get in on the ground floor” of Boekbinder Ltd., but you can still hop on board before its too late by pre-ordering NOISEWITCH over at Boekbinder’s Bandcamp NOW — and by checking out the clip for “The World Is Mine” down below. Just press play, and (as usual) hold onto your butt.
