Konzert: Kathryn Mohr / Seam Ream

Gloomy Tunes with Kathryn Mohr (The Flenser) / Seam Ream (Oathbreaker, Wiegedood)

Oakland-based musician Kathryn Mohr released her first EP, titled “As If,” in 2020—a collection of dark, contemplative songs built around analog synthesizers that caught the attention of both DIY artists and the label The Flenser. Her second EP, “Holly,” followed in 2022; produced in collaboration with Madeline Johnston (Midwife), it is a shimmering collection of guitar-driven songs interspersed with desolate electronic interludes. Their debut album, “Waiting Room”—which they wrote and recorded in isolation during a month-long stay in Iceland—was released on vinyl on January 24, 2025.

No one had really been waiting for Gilles Demolder to record a solo album. After all, he had already made a name for himself with Oathbreaker and Wiegedood—two of Belgium’s hardest-hitting and most respected underground acts. But after Oathbreaker’s breakup—and the end of the relationship that had defined the band’s final phase—Demolder was left with little more than a laptop and a few cheap microphones; he began writing songs that didn’t fit anywhere else.

“Wishin’ I Was Fishin’,” Siem Reap’s second album, loses none of this intimacy but opens up sonically—not least thanks to longtime friends and collaborators Wim Coppers (Oathbreaker, Wiegedood) on drums and Jasper Hollevoet (Ventilateur) on bass. It’s no longer lo-fi; the sound is rich, detailed, and dynamic—yet still firmly rooted in candid songwriting, idiosyncratic folk, and Demolder’s profound, dry humor. Highly recommended for lovers of folk and slowcore.
