Meet the untethered brainchild of Amy Thatcher and Francesca Knowles. This genre-blasting duo defy the preconceptions of what their instruments can do, breaking with tradition while tactfully adopting it as a playground for experimentation. ATFK's sound is one of both raucous energy and sympathetic intensity, combining percussion, synths, keys and vocals for an unapologetic brew of colourful composition.
Debut album Emergency of the Female Kind (2023) showcased a spectrum of human-ness rarely captured in just 46 minutes and the pair's undaunted attitude to kicking off a genre revolution.
Their audacious sophomore release, Repeat For Joy, is out now. Prepare to be veered off the tracks.
