Wilmington musician Grace Vonderkuhn, previously of the now-disbanded Kind of Creatures, is focusing on an eponymous solo project. “After writing and playing in several bands, I decided to take a different approach. I’m on my own. The songs are recorded at home on an eight-track. The whole operation is very DIY,” says the Newark native. In January, Vonderkuhn will release an eponymously-titled EP, available on vinyl, cassette, and for download. The songs are an eclectic mix of lo-fi garage rock, psychedelic, and dream pop, she says. She describes the music as “Lots of electric guitar and distorted bass, as well as some softer, vocally driven tracks.” Two singles (“Nowhere to Go” and “God Bless Your Soul”) are already online at soundcloud.com/gracevonderkuhn. Stay up to date with Vonderkuhn at Facebook.com/gracevonderkuhn and look for her upcoming music video for “Nowhere to Go.” Vonderkuhn is also a bassist in area band This Blows, which will perform at Oddity Bar on Saturday, Jan. 17.
