Taleen Kali – Covered [EP]
Release Date: February 14, 2025
Origin: Los Angeles, California, USA
Genre: Noise pop, post-punk, punk
Taleen Kali returns with Covered, a seven-track EP that reimagines iconic tracks through the kaleidoscope of noise pop, post-punk, and fuzz-soaked punk energy. Released on Valentine’s Day 2025, this electrified collection is more than a tribute—it’s a reinvention. With blazing guitars, distorted textures, and a punk heart that pulses in every note, Covered affirms Kali’s place at the intersection of intensity and experimentation.
Described by KEXP as “a shoegaze wonderland” and endorsed by Henry Rollins himself—"You'd better check out this band"—Taleen Kali continues to ignite the underground scene with fearless creativity and genre-defying spirit.
Sound & Aesthetic
Covered explodes with sonic color. Guitars roar with shoegaze density, drums punch with punk immediacy, and Taleen’s voice cuts through the haze like a neon signal in the dark. The EP blends the emotional pull of classic dreampop with a raw, unfiltered post-punk edge. Synths swirl in the background while feedback and rhythm collide in cathartic waves.
Each track is a reinterpretation, not a replication. Kali doesn’t simply honor her influences—she reconstructs them with a fiery attitude and modern noise-pop urgency.
Mood & Attitude
There’s no nostalgia here—only momentum. Covered channels rebellion, reverence, and riot in equal measure. It’s celebratory yet confrontational, polished yet wild. This is music that howls back at the past, demands attention in the present, and tears forward into the future.
