PREMIERE: KA-TYA’s “Beautiful Faces” blends jangle pop with Kate Bush

Soviet-born KA-TYA channels Kate Bush and 10,000 Maniacs through her own jangling indie pop composition, "Beautiful Faces", which you can hear in this Deli premiere. The songwriter’s music has touched all sides of the world, from Australia where she grew up to Southeast Asia and then to New York, where she now resides and continues to release her songs. "Beautiful Faces" makes for a dance-friendly mid-summer track about strained love; it’s sure to get you swaying even on a hot subway platform. And if you’d like to dance to this song live, KA-TYA will perform "Beautiful Faces" and more of her tracks at her single release party at Bowery Electric on August 23rd. – Will Sisskind
