Medusa

Medusa is a musician painting grey areas bright red. Based in New York, the revenge-pop artist transforms stories of queer joy, fear, and agony into visceral pop music “by any means necessary.” Their signature production style — described by Soundriv as “a breakthrough collection of LGBTQ hymns,” and by Bucketlist as “the most inventive [expletive] music we’ve heard in a long time” — features sounds like cheerleading chants and wolf howls as often as distorted basslines. The artist mixes genres like EDM, post-hardcore, synth pop, and hip-hop, underlining each sonic landscape with a formidable edge.
