MENTRIX - WALK

Like the cartoonist Marjane Satrapi, Mentrix was born in Iran and spent her early childhood there before living in Europe and returning to her home country as an adolescent. She is based in Berlin these days, which seems apt given the slightly industrial edge to her music, which has been compared to Zola Jesus amongst others.

Her forthcoming album, My Enemy, My Love, has been two years in the making and everything, including the videos accompanying her songs, has been thought through incredibly carefully. Mentrix is a full multi media package and her singles have excited a certain amount of critical buzz and attention, which should bode well for the album when it arrives.
