Wendy Rae Fowler
The introspective, goth-tinged rock of Deptford based American producer, composer, and singer Wendy Rae Fowler, has been over 25 years in the making. Despite not being a household name, her story and work to date traverses some of music’s biggest names and instantly recognisable popular culture moments.
Fowler first played bass in the legendary Joshua Tree space rock collective Earthlings? At which time friendships with acts in the group’s orbit led to a period of notable collaborations with Queens of the Stone Age, Mark Lanegan, and Eagles of Death Metal.
While these acts could be considered a footnote in Fowler’s career, they are pivotal in her exploration of new ideas. This period led to a meeting with U.N.K.L.E’s Richard File. Shortly after the duo formed experimental rock act We Fell To Earth, the band being heralded as “eerie and unforgettable” by the Guardian and “brutal and beautiful” by The Sunday Times.
This started a decade of experimentation and collaboration which saw Fowler appear on work by artists as diverse as U.N.K.L.E, Jemma Freeman and the Cosmic Something, Timo Maas, Yawning Sons, Toydrum and Maya Jane Coles.
After We Fell to Earth disbanded Fowler continued to write initially as Katie Cruel with some success, but released a debut solo album Warped in 2018, under her name establishing her own identity.
The atmospherics perfected in We Fell To Earth took on new life as Fowler began composing for film. Her ambient soundscapes propped up the acclaimed BBC documentary A Year in the Garden: Flicker + Pulse and Clay and Bone featuring Will Self.
Fowler released the improved and remastered version Warped:Resurrection on, her very own, Ghost Rhythm records in late 2021, with plans set for 4 four more releases starting January of 2023.
