She looked into the mirror and then she stepped into it; extended her arms forward, reached for the hands that reached back, and came together whole as Katie Bejsiuk. The name Bejsiuk is the singer-songwriter&#x27;s original surname: her father, a first generation American with parents from Ukraine, changed it before she was born. By reclaiming the name for her solo project, the first new music we’ve heard from Katie since Free Cake disbanded in 2019, she has conjoined with a shadow version of herself who holds hands with her past, present, and future. And with the release of her debut album, The Woman on the Moon, out June 24 on Double Double Whammy, listeners are offered the most wholly version of Katie yet.The Woman on the Moon gently nods to the pre-band days of Free Cake—when it was just Katie and her guitar—but with a musical evolution cultivated from years of self-inquiry during which her confidence, direction, and self-possession bloomed. Whereas Free Cake buoyantly focused on the ecstatic wonders and wounds of youth in real time, Katie Bejsiuk pans out with wisdom and retrospection that comes with age. The Woman on the Moon is composed of 12 exquisite and refined songs that evoke the sensory through introspective lyrics and salve the heart with Katie’s tranquilizing, cadenced vocals that devoted fans have clung to for over a decade.AVA MIRZADEGANPhiladelphia, PA<a href="https://penpalindrome.bandcamp.com/album/dilettante-ball-2" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://penpalindrome.bandcamp.com/album/dilettante-ball-2</a><a href="https://penpalindrome.bandcamp.com/album/dilettante-ball-2" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Ava Mirzadegan writes quiet songs about heartbreak, longing, letting go, and befriending the night sky. Accompanied most often by fingerpicked nylon string guitar, her work feels lonely and unembellished. Plain-spoken lyrics paired with unusual chord clusters result in a subdued type of crushing - not unlike water pooling in a ceiling. It is with this unrelenting tension that the writer begs the question, if a girl falls apart in her room, and no one is around to hear it, does she make a sound?***COVID PolicyIn order to attend an event at Comet Ping Pong we now require proof of a full COVID-19 vaccination.
