New Single: High Treason

The May Project for Sylvester Sessions by Kate Sylvester

New release: Rescue + Solace

About

The May Project is the musical branch of Auckland-based multidisciplinary artist Katie Brown.

Ethereal, layered vocals with intricate harmonies (inspired by Katie's background in choral and classical music) floating on a bed of layered, percussive and textural synths, guitars and beats form the backbone of The May Project's sound.

To date, The May Project has been steadily releasing tracks in conjunction with collections by Etta Every (Katie's fashion label).

The releases have been regularly playlisted on various student stations across New Zealand.
