Klypi, bitch with a knife, Ribcage
Klypi (pronounced like the Windows paper clip office assistant) is the ‘pop-star’ avatar of AC Carter, multi-disciplinary artist from Birmingham, AL. Klypi is part electro-pop, part performance art. Now living in LA and signed to Lolipop Records, Klypi released their first self-produced EP in June 2023 and plans for a full LP fall of 2024.
Klypi is described as an alien who travels to Earth in search of a better life, only to realize that what they were looking for was a myth in itself. Klypi quickly recognizes that the only way to survive as a human is to become a successful businessman (as well as to learn how to tackle a wide range of human emotions and experiences). Isolation and unrequited love are just a couple of themes that run through Klypi’s work.
AC’s creative journey comes from the lineage of artists-turned-musicians past: DEVO, Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, and Suicide. AC is interested in the immediacy of pop music, while simultaneously digging for something deeper and experimenting with those boundaries. Previously a painter and sculptor, AC has harnessed those skills to construct their sonic, visual, and conceptual world, while their songs have even been described as painterly: layered, vibrant, textured.
