Martha and Jessica Kilpatrick (aka Waterbaby) had a creative upbringing in South London – spending their days singing in Southwark Cathedral Choir or experimenting with recording ideas onto cassette tapes, such as trying to make their out-of-tune family piano and a flute sound like an electric guitar.

Eventually settling together in an attic flat in Peckham, the sisters became quiet, mystical forces in the underground London scene, emerging in and out of the sanctuary of their studio to perform their hypnotic live show with artists as varied as Kedr Livansky, James K, TAAHLIAH, and Dorian Electra.

The sisters’ insular and feminine sonic world showcases inventive song structures backed by dizzying layers of production – all crafted on their stash of lost & found analogue gear in their South East London studio, squashed between Hyperdub’s headquarters and a mechanic’s garage. In a world where the analogue and the digital seem to be in constant headlock, Waterbaby effortlessly solve the equation – operating in a space where Cocteau Twins-esque anachronism meets the sharper edge of contemporary experimental electronica.

Following a string of mesmerizing singles paired with surreal, self-directed VHS videos, avant-pop sister duo Waterbaby have captivated the likes of Dazed, Loud & Quiet, FACT, Crack and more with the recent release of their fully self-produced debut album 22° Halo via London label untitled (recs).

With multiple appearances on NTS Radio, and collaborations with fellow female experimentalists BABii & Sofie Birch alongside their singles, the sisters garnered attention and high anticipation for their debut album. Received with wide acclaim and a sold out headline at IKLECTIK Art Lab in London, 22° Halo has been described as a kaleidoscopic dreamworld of ambitious, celestial pop compositions.
