Ethereal producer and songwriter KUČKA today shares her widely anticipated sophomore album Can You Hear Me Dreaming?, complete with new future-pop single ‘Heaven’.

KUČKA’s second full-length breaks through the clouds of introspection into a zone of playful fantasy. It follows her 2021 debut album Wrestling – acclaimed by triple j, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, SPIN and more for its “digital soul” (FACT Magazine) and intimate investigations of queer identity.

In this new era, KUČKA moves away from personal narrative into realms of cartoonish fantasy. She explores emotional voyeurism, a term she’s coined and describes as ,“attempting to understand someone through an (imagined) emotional standpoint instead of a purely logical one”. She leaned heavily into the whims of her  “cartoon brain” that runs on dream logic, wherein symbols and imagery interact chaotically as a vehicle for deeper emotional landscapes. Her willingness to embrace reverie shines as she moves beyond the literal and embraces poetic ambiguity. These ideas, plus her decade of experience in the studio, shine through on 12 tracks of laser-cut electronic production and irresistible pop songwriting.

“...this idea of ‘emotional voyeurism’ was a fun couple of words that helped to describe the way I was putting stories together. My inspiration was coming from all over the place - deep internet, personal memories, the lives of people around me and also images I found that I thought were particularly poignant or interesting. I weaved all of these things together and created stories that felt real to me and reflected everything I was taking in. These 12 songs are part real life part fantasy and everything in between” - KUČKA
