about

Leslie Keffer began in the early 2000s, making layered noise music with mostly radios and vocals, without initially knowing of a surrounding scene for this type of expression. From there, she toured incessantly as a solo artist and as a member of Laundry Room Squelchers or Indian Jewelry. Keffer also collaborated with a number of artists, including Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Rodger Stella, Sharkiface, and several others.

Near the dawn of the 2010s, electronic percussion began to slowly impress itself upon part of Keffer’s set-up as part of her evolution, until an injury caused her epilepsy to worsen, leaving her unable to tour, and keeping her away from creative outlets, for the most part, until her resurgence in 2022.

At that time, she re-emerged with an involvement in around sixteen releases for the year 2022 alone; Much of it more conventional, beat-driven music, with some video work, and occasionally more accessible vocal presentations than what had been largely buried under radio signals before.

Perceive and Aethereal (no part of it) built upon Keffer’s loose electronic instrumentation that was set into motion on Temple (Chocolate Monk) which itself was a departure from her 2 disc set Human Inosculation (Weatnu), comprised of mostly beat-driven work.

In addition to further proving her ability as an experimental artist on Perceive and Aethereal (“sibling albums”, she calls them), Keffer has developed a unique brand from elements of electronic, psychedelic, new age ambient music, with more structurally sound methods of execution. That newfound talent for vocal melodies and delivery saw her featured in The Wire Magazine’s 2022 REWIND issue, among a myriad of other glowing reviews throughout the year.

Now poised for 2023, with a much less active release schedule, Veiled Matter is the result of ongoing trance work, where a connection has been established and a story is to be told. For Keffer, this full-length is groundbreaking for her as a bonafide musician and vocalist, as she integrates Arabic scales and more ambitious phrasing than ever before. When it finds its audience, Veiled Matter will surely be regarded as a legendary home recording that eclipsed the limited resources used to create it.

From a recent interview with Leslie Keffer:

"I just finished a new album that will be out this year on NO PART OF IT called “Veiled Matter”. Its a story of transcendence. It begins in meditation and as I get deeper and deeper in I move into another realm where everything is silicified. The trees are made of opalized stone and are brilliant, bioluminescent colors. I meet a being once I am there who shrouds herself from us on our plane in minerals and crystals but once I am in her realm I can see her in her royal blue veil as she leads me through the petrified forest. She teaches me about energy and how to manipulate it and uses it to heal myself and others. She teaches me how to feel it in the rocks, minerals, and plants that surround me. She speaks in energetic code."
