KARITI 

kariti (карити) - 'to mourn the dead' in church Slavonic - is a Russian-born poet, composer and multi-

instrumentalist currently based in Italy. Her debut 'Covered Mirrors' was released in September 2020 by

the cult Italian label Aural Music (Negură Bunget, Imperial Triumphant, Messa) and represents a

‘cathartic peregrination through bereavement’. Marco, the leader of the heavy sludge outfit Grime

contributes to some of the songs and often joins kariti for live performances.

In September 2023, an industrial/trip-hop/shoegaze s/t EP was released under the moniker Néant - a

collaboration between kariti and Void of the anonymous Parisian industrial sludge collective Non

Serviam. According to CVLT Nation ‘if Portishead, Spirit Possession, The Bug, and The Body decided to

create music together — the outcome just might sound like this band’.

kariti’s latest offering ‘Dheghom’, released in February 2024 by the forward-thinking Dutch label Lay

Bare Recordings (Frayle, Thief (ex-Botanist), Yawning Man) sees a notable development in sound,

songwriting and instrumentation: apart from electric guitars, kariti plays various synthesizers and the

analogue piano and the record features strings by Jon K (live Cough, Dorthia Cottrell), a song with drums

and bass, multiple contributions of Marco (Grime, Simian Steel) on guitar/noise, and a haunting duet

with Dorthia Cottrell (Windhand, solo).

Starting from 2021, kariti toured Europe multiple times, shared the stage with Messa, Grift, Conny Ochs,

among others, and in October 2023 was invited by Brutus to open the Italian leg of their tour. Dheghom

release show took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia with Lili Refrain as the special guest. kariti’s intense live

shows have been described as liturgy-like and cathartic and the extensive live/touring schedule is

currently in the works for 2024.
