Known for her singular approach to voice, Jessika Kenney has spent the past two decades crafting new sonic worlds—drawing from deep study, ritual practice, and an untamed expressive clarity. From her celebrated collaborations with Eyvind Kang to her vocal composition for A24’s Midsommar, Kenney’s work exists at the crossroads of the sacred, the sonic, and the unseen. On Uranian Void, Kenney turns inward, tracing the contours of memory, resonance, and perception. Blurring sine waves, hydrophone recordings, a ghazal of Hafez, and original texts, the album is a meditation on liminality—where shimmer and shadow vibrate in equal measure. Kenney’s voice weaves through it all: sometimes whispered, sometimes radiant, always precise. “This album is an exercise in transparency within darkness,” Kenney explains. “It’s about staying open—to doubt, to reverberation, to what lies just beyond what we can perceive.” Uranian Void was produced and recorded by Randall Dunn (SUNN O))), Kali Malone, Annea Lockwood), whose signature spatial detail and depth lend the record its immersive sonic architecture. Every tone, breath, and resonance is rendered with intimacy and dimension—amplifying Kenney’s exploration of presence and absence. Fragments recorded during visits to Spokane, her childhood home, form the album’s foundation. Transformed in the studio, these become incantatory quatrains—quiet yet insistent—revealing the subtle pulse of place, time, and the body. Echoes of the past fold into the present, as if the walls themselves remember and resonate. Uranian Void is music for thresholds—an invitation to dwell in the unseen and the barely audible. A powerful and poetic statement, it affirms Kenney as one of the most visionary vocal artists working today.
