Indie Rock from Desperate Electric

Hailing from the city of Butte in Montana, Desperate Electric is an indie music duo formed by guitarist, keyboard player and vocalist Ben Morris and Kayti Korte on bass and vocals. Drawing on a broad range of influences they craft a sound that fuses the charm of disco and retro rock n’ roll with a modern forward thinking indie pop style to create a dramatic and dazzling sound that’s entirely their own.

Covering themes of the ups and downs of life, growing up and relationships, they thread their relatable lyricism instilled with both vulnerability and defiance through their energising sound of instantly catchy indie rock music. With their live shows, they put on electrifying performances that have seen them delight scores of crowds across the USA.

Making their studio music introduction in 2019, they dropped their debut eponymous EP Desperate Electric which they’ve followed up with a plethora of stellar releases as they roll out their captivating sonic vision. Now, following the success of their recent tour and a string of summer shows and festival appearances, they’ve released their latest album titled What Do You Want.

Bringing us the final single and title track from the record, they share “What Do You Want”, offering the perfect taste of their unique sound. Written about the loneliness sometimes felt as an artist and creator who occasionally feels like they’re screaming into the void, with “What Do You Want”, Desperate Electric share an anthemic and utterly triumphant song that showcases their memorable songwriting and vocal talents.

Commenting on the single, they share, “ʻWhat Do You Wantʼ is a whole ass journey. What begins as a question winds up as a mantra, a declaration to the world that weʼre here, weʼre not going anywhere, and even when itʼs hard AF, weʼll be here doing our thing. Weʼre all on journey. The message ʻWhat Do You Wantʼ can be applied to so many areas of life; work, goals, relationships — they all beg the question.”

Adding, “I think this song has taken on new meanings for us in every phase of its little life so far, and I think thatʼs what makes it a great song. Following your dreams is hard, but it would be harder, internally, not too. We hope you can find some comfort in the fact that weʼre really all having a universal experience. Youʼre not alone, weʼll be here singing into the void until we canʼt anymore.”
