Kit Sebastian
London-based duo Kit Sebastian (aka K Martin and Merve Erdem) captivate their audiences with moments of pure pop bliss, timeless nostalgia and seductive complexity. Their unique sounds weave a psychedelic tapestry of global influences, vintage synths and melancholy élan from the beaches of Bahia to the streets of Istanbul and Paris. A joyous expression of vibrant grooves and sophisticated lyricism that transcends boundaries, borders and social-cultural preconceptions. Their latest album ‘New Internationale’ was released in Sept 2024 via Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder record label and it served as a neat summary of the sounds and styles that have long tantalised the duo: French pop and Anatolian psych, vintage Tropicália and early rock ’n’ roll, with breezes of soul and prog blowing through the open windows of the pair’s collective imagination. Their crafted soundscapes use an array of instruments to evoke a borderless planet and the seamless commune between past and present.
Despite being fused in and inspired by the multi-cultural environment of London, much of what has formed Kit Sebastian, both as musicians and people, has its roots in the interface between cultural heritage and lived experience.
