Klypi, the audacious pop persona of multi-disciplinary artist AC Carter, has finally dropped their second LP, Icon Enterprises, through Lolipop Records. As you’ll quickly hear below this isn’t just another synth-pop album—it’s a full-on performance art experience that merges 80s nostalgia with the raw emotion of modern life. Known as an “alien trapped on Earth,” Klypi navigates the complexities of human existence with a unique mix of business savvy and musical flair. Influenced by groundbreaking artists like DEVO and Laurie Anderson, AC uses Klypi to explore themes of queerness, unrequited love, and capitalist disillusionment, all while creating a sound that’s both textured and punchy. From Birmingham, Alabama, to LA, Carter’s journey as both a visual artist and musician brings a DIY energy, with tracks crafted using hacked and free software. Icon Enterprises pulls from AC’s own experiences, each song a raw, diaristic look into life’s struggles and joys. The album’s layered electro-pop sound offers a nostalgic yet timely exploration of our modern world. Hear what we mean by streaming the captivating project via Spotify and be sure to turn your speakers up for this one.
