KUČKA Enlists Flume, Nosaj Thing on Spellbinding Debut Album, “Wrestling”

"Wrestling is a deeply personal album and releasing it feels like I'm passing around my diary for everyone to read — liberating and vulnerable at the same time," KUČKA wrote on social media. "My hope is that as people immerse themselves in the world, they connect not only to the music and lyrics, but also themselves."

In addition to her own production work, KUČKA also enlisted several producers to lend their talents to her songs. Vegyn, known for his work on Frank Ocean's Blonde and Channel Orange, infused hip-hop flavors to "Contemplation" with loops of trap drums and eerie synths. Meanwhile, renowned electronic producer Nosaj Thing leant his talents to the glistening, introspective "Real" while Exmoor Emperor contributed to the euphoric, synthwave-inspired "Sky Brown." 

KUČKA has also released a series of music videos coinciding with four of the tracks off Wrestling, including "Real." "I want to encourage people to lose themselves in their ideas, to really go deep, no matter how weird or unusual they think they are, and see how it affects their physical body and gives way to even more potent thoughts," she commented in the video's caption.
