Whether you know it or not, you’ve heard MUNNYCAT.
Maybe it was in a movie or a TV show montage, while doom-scrolling through TikTok, in one of countless commercials from Crest, Apple, or X-Box, or maybe you stopped to Shazam their song playing through the tinny speakers at H&M. You can't escape MUNNYCAT. And there’s a reason for that - this scrappy, ferociously DIY duo has a flare for infectious and chaotic songs that have grabbed the ears of their loyal fans, as well as other creative folks that make stuff. Filmmakers, editors, playlisters and choreographers have been using their neon-colored, ADHD-tinged bops as inspiration to get your attention.
Their music (RIYL: Kero Kero Bonito, Remi Wolf, Tierra Whack) is firmly rooted in modern indie-pop, and has been called “hyperpop on Lexapro”, with the press referencing MUNNYCAT’s obsession with East Coast proto hip-hop and 80’s art pop. MUNNYCAT is, in its totality, a two-person project made up of producers K808 and Khaledzou. Originally from the infamously corrupt and troubled rust-belt city of Youngstown, OH where they learned so much of the self-reliance and individualism that makes them creatively distinct, they now live in sunny Los Angeles creating art side by side. The newlyweds write, produce, shoot and edit their own videos together, lending new meaning to the phrase 'dynamic duo.'
