Kathryn Mohr announces new LP ‘Carve,’ shares “Property”

3 weeks ago 18

Bay Area artist Kathryn Mohr has announced her second LP, Carve, due out April 17 via The Flenser. It’s the follow up to last year’s Waiting Room, and she wrote it over five years, then recorded it over two weeks in the Mojave Desert. Here’s more from the press release:

Mohr describes Carve as an album about how memory exists outside the body, embedded in places and landscapes. It is shaped by her first return to the American Southwest since a childhood road trip at age five, and by the experience of moving through terrain that holds emotional weight long after its origins fade. The record considers how intimacy feels after years of isolation, and what it takes to carve out a life that allows for trust, presence, and feeling rather than mere survival. The project took form after a difficult tour that ended in Joshua Tree. Mohr pointed her car into the desert and drove alone, crisscrossing the Mojave on dirt roads. Months later, she returned to record the album, working alone with an acoustic guitar, a field recorder, and limited supplies.

The first single is the grungy, haunting “Property,” which Mohr says is “an amalgamation of dream images and visions I had throughout 2025. It’s also inspired by an underground man made waterway I found that went on for miles under the city I live in. walking through, climbing 50 feet up a ladder to look out the man hole, see where I am.” Hear it below.
