Kassie Krut is a New York trio - Kasra Kurt and Eve Alpert, both formerly of the Philadelphia band Palm, alongside producer Matt Anderegg. It started as Kurt's solo outlet for UK club music and became a band after Palm dissolved in 2023, at which point the guitars were traded for synths and hardware. The result is industrial, grime- and EBM-inflected electronic pop built from scratch-made sounds - car alarms, notification chimes, dial tones - set against stutter-step hi-hats and tensile bass. Their self-titled debut EP on Fire Talk (December 2024) picked up best-of-2024 nods from Pitchfork, Stereogum, The Guardian, Mixmag, NPR Music and Paste, and an expanded edition brought in Panda Bear, Container and DJ Travella.
Popularity
How this is measured
An absolute, national (US) measure — not a ranking against the other artists on this site. We take the strongest of three open signals: ListenBrainz listens, English Wikipedia pageviews, and the number of Wikipedia language editions that have an article. The strongest one wins, so a signal we couldn't read never drags the result down. Bucket 1 means measured and small. Unrated never means small — it means we don't have the numbers.

What listeners say
Critical reception has been unusually strong for a band this new: the debut EP drew year-end recognition from Pitchfork, Stereogum, The Guardian, Mixmag, NPR Music, Paste and Hearing Things, and individual reviews praise the trio for wringing a lot out of a deliberately narrow palette - found-sound noise, hard percussion, no guitars. Be aware this reading is based on record reviews, not on live feedback: they are a young act mostly playing support slots, and no accessible body of show reviews exists yet. Their catalogue is also small - one EP plus a remix edition - so sets are short, and the sound is abrasive by design rather than by accident.
