Biography
As Kee Avil, songwriter Vicky Mettler delicately threads guitar, piano, and electroacoustics to craft music that is intensely intimate and organic. Having played guitar in a variety of avant-garde and improvisational groups, she began exploring composition and songwriting with her self-titled Kee Avil EP, which was released by Black Bough Records in 2018.
Her sounds hang together like organs in a body, tightly wound and uncomfortably amorphous, each instrument at least partially digested, every tension unplaceable.
Kee Avil combines guitar, voice and electronic production to create song assemblages that teeter on the edge of collapse while oozing forward, like sticky wax, shedding disparate elements along the way. Kee Avil evolved from playing guitar with broken cymbals and drumsticks to forging askew tempos and structures glued together by samples of screws dropped into crystal bowls.
