In “Electric Blue,” Kirsten Izer explores heartache through vivid locations, blending bossa nova and rock to convey emotional complexity and vulnerability, creating relatable memories of love lost.

Maps have coordinates, memories have locations. In “Electric Blue,” Kirsten Izer charts the topography of heartache through physical spaces—where New York streets become pathways back to lost connection and Los Angeles neighborhoods (“this side of Hillhurst”) mark territory of continued longing.

LA-based talent, Kirsten Izer, is back on our pages with a powerful new single that deserves your attention!

‘Electric Blue’ is a beautifully emotional and sincere song that seamlessly applies bossa nova rhythms over an alternative pop production, resulting in a sound that is unlike anything we’ve heard. The track was co-produced along with Randall Belculfine and looks at the legacy that love leaves within us. Izer explains:

“It was one of those songs where I didn’t even really understand what it was about until it was complete. Each lyric felt very soft, like a natural fit, and conveyed kind of a duelling positive and negative feeling I’ve had simultaneously for one person, which was turning out to be a common theme in a lot of my songs.”

The alt pop wandering third eye of "You" by, indie singer-songwriter Kirsten Izer, feels mysterious, soars to ethereal places and asks questions. I love the sort of trip hop electronica happening in this song, I am a champion of understated, perfectly placed sounds that has ambient atmospheres that wrap around you. "You" is that. Don't get me wrong, it is highly produced, wonderfully produced but doesn't sound like it is, the ebb and flow, the emotional musical arc is so engaging. Of course, a huge part of this pull and push is the song itself and Kirsten Izer's vocal countenance that is bathed in questions, relationship questions (in my mind) that might have to do with the old existential tugs of where do I begin and where do your start or vice a versa and is 'we' an entirely different spiritual animal, entity??

Kirsten Izer might want to know more about You.  Maybe.  It’s a cautionary allure.  Izer knows to be careful what you wish for.  There’s a seductive trait masking her obsessed conflict.  That detail comes to a fever pitch in the songs convincing trademark chorus.  It’s in this moment that the emotion takes over.  Is this real life, or is this fantasy?

A catchy upbeat indie psych pop rock, You should instantly connect with fans of Tame Impala or Lucius.  It’s freaky catchy while staying true to its narrative.  It’s a great find. 

We’re very excited to be sharing with you a new indie artist emerging from LA, going by the name of Kirsten Izer.

Originally from New Jersey, this singer, songwriter, and producer creates songs that seamlessly blend indie with experimental pop. The result is a sound that is really quite unique, as is the case with her new single, ‘You’.

The track is inspired by the powerful connections that we sometimes have with special people and was co-produced alongside the acclaimed Randy Belculfine (noted for his work with Tones and I, Tanerélle, and more). On the lyrics, Izer says:

“It’s about that special person that you have such a strong connection with. No amount of distance or silence can change how much you care. You love them and you wonder how they’re doing, but they don’t need to call or explain—their existence is enough.”

Publicist-turned-singer Kirsten Izer continues her push into music-making with “No One’s Invited,” the second single from her forthcoming debut album. The new track’s accompanying black-and-white video, which was directed and edited by Izer, shows the artist in her Los Angeles apartment while living out a one-woman party.

“No One’s Invited” is a self-reflection “that explores the complex sensations of being alone in a crowd and the agony of saying what you mean,” according to a statement. The song was recorded and produced by Izer, mixed by Joe Michelini, and mastered by West Side Music. Izer will play a release show to celebrate “No One’s Invited” tonight (Nov. 10) at KDM Studios in Los Angeles.
