Cinematic, ethereal, raw—Cate Von Csoke transports you on a psychedelic guitar-driven trip through the desertscapes of the US and her native Australia. Currently based in New York, Von Csoke creates introspective anti-love songs, anchored by dark, hypnotic vocals and intriguing lyricism, with a sound that evokes notions of desert nights and western noir films. In 2019, Von Csoke recorded her debut album, Almoon—a psychedelic, minimal-for-maximum effect eight-track offering—at Sonic Youth Studios featuring the legendary Steve Shelley on drums and percussion. The album was produced by Jared Artaud of The Vacant Lots and engineered by Grammy award-winner Ted Young (The Rolling Stones, Kurt Vile), with all songwriting, vocals and guitars by Von Csoke. The album’s opening track, “Coyote Cry,” written earlier in the year during a stint in the Mojave Desert, sets the scene with Von Csoke opening lines, Do you hear the coyote cry, lying witness to the midnight sky.
