Flung - All Heartbeat (Clear Blue Vinyl)

Facts As Flung, Oakland-based multi-instrumentalist Kashika Kollaikal creates channels for feeling. After beginning as a solo recording project in 2020 during the early days of the COVID pandemic, Flung returns in 2024 as part of the Get Better Records family with her third solo release, All Heartbeat. These songs are as catchy as they are emotionally visceral, as accessible as they are uncanny. All Heartbeat features Flung’s trademark use of meditative repetition and intricate polyrhythm as her sound grows into an immersive, tactile world full of glimmers of sun and storm, exhaust fans, car horns, hand-punched music box sheets, and aluminum foil buzzing on piano strings. Bringing together a richly experimental sonic palette with intimate sentiments dealing with love, place, and transness, All Heartbeat showcases Flung at her most lucid.
