🔵 Ecce Shnak ○ Katy's Wart

  From CANADA 

G

enre-defying NYC outfit Ecce Shnak will be joining platinum-selling legends EMF for a series of UK dates in early June. The two bands toured the US west coast together in 2025 (along with Spacehog) and Ecce Shnak also features on the EMF's epic indie dance track 'LGBTQ+ Lover' in support of the marginalized queer community. The video footage was filmed during their joint tour.

In the heart of New York City’s experimental scene, Ecce Shnak has carved out a reputation for "high-wire" performance, their music is a volatile yet meticulously crafted ecosystem, where technical precision meets a sense of inspired mayhem. Pronounced Eh-kay sh-knock, the band is made up of David Roush (composer, bassist and one of two singers), Bella Komodromos (vocals), Chris Krasnow (guitar), Gannon Ferrell (guitar), and Henry Buchanan-Vaughn (drums). 

David Roush shares, "Our precious pals in the legendary dance-pop crew EMF have invited us to be the opening act for 6 joyful days in the UK early this June! You can find the details of where and when our trampucings will lead us on our website and social media accounts. So trampuce along with us. To quote EMF, “You deserve more than this world could ever give!”"

Moving towards their full-length album 'Dandy Variances' album, anticipated later this year via Records, Man Records, the band recently released their new video for 'Katy's Wart', along with its Bandcamp release. a hidden gem originally released on their 2019 'Joke Oso' album. Telling a visceral tale of justice, the new video introduces a cruel madman, who finally meets his end at the hands of five purple goddesses of righteous vengeance.

The story is presented as a three-minute 'Animated Music Feelm Version', and an immersive ten-minute 'Extended Feelm Version' with a backstory that builds tension and context, centered on a well-dressed maniac, whose harmful acts finally trigger a cosmic intervention. The heroic twin sisters ultimately fend him off with the help of otherworldly agents of chaotic justice. In a supernatural animated turning point, five spirits are conjured to deliver him a dose of instant karma.

A blistering indictment of bigotry and cruelty, this surreal narrative was brought to life through a collaboration with some of the industry’s most innovative creative minds. The project’s striking visual identity is the work of the production-direction team of Hollye Bynum and Sam Owens, along with David Roush. The eery mind-boggling animation was crafted by the titans at Titmouse Productions. With this high-fidelity animation, 'Katy’s Wart' is now a definitive piece of Ecce Shnak lore, bridging their historical catalogue with their ambitious future.

2025 was a massive year for Ecce Shnak that saw the spring release of their 'Shadows Grow Fangs' EP, which was recorded and produced by Jeff Lucci, mixed by Nicholas Vernhes (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Wild Nothing, The War on Drugs) and mastered by Grammy award-winning engineer Joe LaPorta (David Bowie, The Weeknd, Foo Fighters, Vampire Weekend).

They also released their live 'Backroom Sessions' EP and two club anthems - the Bladerunner-esque 'Jeremy, Utilitarian Sadboy (Kill Em Mix)' with German DJ-producer Eskei83 and the buoyant 'Prayer On Love (Madison Mars Remix)', in collaboration with world-famous DJ-producer Madison Mars. 

'Katy's Wart' can be found on digital music platforms, including Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.  Tickets for Ecce Shnak and EMF June tour dates are now available.

"Both jarring and exhilarating... powerful and anthemic. Mind blown!" 
~ The Spill Magazine

"Mathy rock ornateness, sub-metal weight, and prog-infused punk— the perfect attraction of opposites. But stand back a bit and contemplate further, and you will find pop infectiousness, classical grace, and even hardcore aggression all working in harmony" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"Art / alt rock with varied twists of punk, chamber pop, new wave, experimental rock and more besides, there is never a predictable moment in sound or design" 
 ~ Black Noise Zine
