Featured Artist
L K Hae is a producer, engineer, and songwriter on Library Collaborative Records. After growing up in the rust-belt firehall and house show punk scene, Hae moved to Washington, D.C. to get an education where he became a part of the Northern Virginia music scene playing and touring with various bands up and down the East Coast. Hae moved back to his hometown of Sharon to start Plum Sound Studio and start another band Distractions, and eventually moved to Pittsburgh in 2014 where he met Library Collaborative through his band Debra Kane.
While still able to seperate the heavy rock from the more mellow, blues driven L K Hae recordings, there is still a sense of the influence on each record. "Ahimsa", Hae's first release in 2016 on Lib Co is a Foray in to blues, hip hop, and rock n roll, While the 2017 full length "Fermata" dives in to all sides of punk, blues, folk, R & B, and jazz. With another full length due out in late May, there's no shortage of musical content.
Hae's lyrical message is mostly social commentary, political (or anti-political), and love lost but sometimes found; from Monkey Torn Linen's "All anybody cares about is what everybody else thinks about them, all we are are monkeys in tailored up linens" to "Five fat pigs at a fat pig troff; tear it down. Burn down the Palicade.", the chorus off Fermata's 'Palacade'. Hear for yourself: LK Hae on Spotify, Itunes, or Soundcloud.
