Culture Addicts reviews MK Naomi’s Dream Hiss EP

Culture Addicts shared kind words about MK Naomi. Absolutely nailed it. Read the entire feature here.

"Dream Hiss isn’t just a debut EP—it’s a cathartic release valve. Written in the fallout of years riddled with personal loss, mental health struggles, and the pandemic-era soul scramble, these four tracks live in the grey space between unraveling and healing. It’s music for the in-between moments—the parts where you’re moving forward, but still shadowboxing with what came before.

The band itself is a bit of a Boston all-star reincarnation, rising from the ashes of two beloved local acts—Birdwatching and Elephants—both of which met an untimely end. MK Naomi keeps the torch burning for that special brand of artistically assertive, women-led rock the city’s always done well (think The Breeders, Throwing Muses, Salem 66), with a fresh spin that lands them comfortably next to Remember Sports, Tigers Jaw, and Soccer Mommy.

Soft verses? Loud choruses? Check. Songs for crying, driving, or crying while driving? Also check. ‘Dream Hiss’ is tailor-made for anyone finding beauty in the mess, heartbreak in the hooks, and hope in the haze."
