Kaela is a genre-blurring singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and
producer based in Los Angeles
Her debut solo album Supraliminal was released on Other Suns, the label founded by
M83's Anthony Gonzalez, who remarked: "This album takes me places I've never been
before," calling Kaela an "intriguing and fantastical artist."
Written and produced in her LA studio, Supraliminal is an immersive journey through
ambient textures, experimental pop structures, and analog synth landscapes. The title
refers to the psychological concept of information existing above the threshold of
conscious awareness. "I'm interested in the moment something crosses that
threshold," Kaela explains, "when a hidden truth rises to the surface, whether through
memory, art, or intuition."
Supraliminal transports listeners to a spectacular new world in a sonic sandbox of
glitter. Shifting seamlessly between psychedelic ambience and energetic, beat-driven
tracks, the album defies easy classification. Shimmering synthesizers, analog
textures, and transcendental vocals animate a colorful, futuristic soundscape where
surrealism meets subconscious messaging, inner demons meet the higher self, and
childlike wonder communes with deep grief. Kaela describes the album as a
"holographic world" that balances innocence and revelation, introspection and
adventure.
Critics have praised Supraliminal for its ambitious scope. Bandcamp called it "super
expansive," while Musikexpress described it as "an analog waking dream." The album
has garnered attention for its meticulous production, inventive sound design, and
emotional depth.
Kaela is also known for her long-standing role as a key member of M83, contributing
to both live and studio projects since 2016, including the band's 2023 album Fantasy
and its worldwide tour. With Supraliminal, she fully steps into her own artistic identity,
crafting a deeply layered and visionary debut. At once cerebral and visceral, cosmic
and intimate, it's a record that doesn't just ask to be heard; it asks to be felt.
For fans of: M83, Trentemoller, Bjork, Grimes, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Jon Hopkins,
Julianna Barwick, James Holden.
