Kassie Krut Release Panda Bear Rework of "Hooh Beat" & Announce Expanded EP, Out June 6 via Fire Talk

Today, Kassie Krut — the "timelessly thrilling" (i-D) New York City trio of Eve Alpert, Kasra Kurt, and Matt Anderegg — announce an expanded remix EP of their 2024 self-titled debut (out June 6th via Fire Talk Records), and present its lead single, “Hooh Beat - Panda Bear Remix.” Kassie Krut (Expanded EP) taps a hand-selected line-up to reimagine Kassie Krut’s “jagged, delirious” (FADER) debut. Alongside Panda Bear, Kassie Krut (Expanded EP) features contributions from DJ Travella, The JLB (of Kero Kero Bonito), COIDO, and Container. The remixes span from hyper-charged merengue-inflected bangers, breakneck beats, and cacophonies of noise. It’s an eclectic mosaic that follows a year in which Kassie Krut collected Best of 2024 praise from Pitchfork, Stereogum, The Guardian, Mix Mag, NPR Music, Paste, Hearing Things and more

“Hooh Beat - Panda Bear Remix” sees Kassie Krut join forces with their soon-to-be tourmate, contorting the “shuddering, immense rager” (Pitchfork) beyond the point of recognition. It’s a sauntering rework that takes the original’s “trance-like rhythms” (Post-Trash) to new heights. With melodic overdubs, additional verses, and a guttural scream from veteran artist Noah Lennox, “Hooh Beat - Panda Bear Remix” solidifies Kassie Krut’s spot in a lineage of sonic experimentalists.

Next month, Kassie Krut will join Panda Bear for a run of US tour dates alongside Toro y Moi. Surrounding the joint dates, Kassie Krut will perform a handful of headlining shows. A full list of tour dates are below, and tickets are on sale now.
