KUČKA is the avant-electronic project of producer/vocalist Laura Jane Lowther, who records and produces all of the music from found sounds and analog synths from her bedroom studio in Perth. After being sampled by the New York Rapper A$AP Rocky, being named in the top five under-the-radar Australian bands by The Guardian, and securing a slot on stage at Laneway Festival, 2013 was a huge year for KUČKA. Laura’s vocal abilities have also been recognised internationally as after initially sampling her track "I" for A$AP Rocky’s hit single Long Live A$AP, Rocky asked Laura to sing backing vocals on both Long Live A$AP and also Fashion Killa. Both of these tracks appear on his debut album, which charted at No 1 on the Us Billboard Charts.
