Raised in Korea and now based in Sydney, Kim has gained international recognition for her fearless and melodic approach to the drum set. In 2023 she performed 100 hours of solo drumming across ten days, a »Herculean« feat hailed by The Guardian

On »Ratsnake«, Kim makes a bold entry into the canon of solo drumming records. Pairing unflinching improvisation with exacting control, she explores rhythm, texture, and form with striking clarity. The album’s title references a dream her mother had before her birth, invoking the ratsnake—a Korean symbol of strength, resilience, and rare fortune.

Produced by Randall Dunn, »Ratsnake« reveals the full spectrum of Kim’s dynamic touch and melodic phrasing. It is a record of power, nuance, and vision—announcing a singular new voice in contemporary percussion.

The album features artwork and an artist portrait by Pat Aulisio.
