Girl Blunt
Girl Blunt blends dark electro-industrial grit with fairytale sparkle . Multi-cultural rhythms from the shadow realm kissed with wonder. Her sets are transformative, hypnotic, and unapologetically emotional; mixing sounds from places in her real world journeys combined with dreamscapes she’s yet to reach. Hailing from the vibrant, yet often overlooked heart of the Midwest, and her own eventual breaking out, she sees every set as an opportunity to bridge the gaps between people, places, and sounds.
