This world kinda sucks, so I made my own.
ratbag is a musician, a maker of worlds, and a multi-disciplinary enigma who slips between art forms curating her immersive visual and phonic world. Part alt-pop entity, part monster-maker, part shadow in the corner of your room, her universe is a visual diary unfolding in real time. It’s mysterious, raw, DIY, emotive, and fantastical. Where eerie isolated nature collides with outdated technology, music is made with wires tangled through forests and caves, and strange creatures lurk, brought into existence by ratbag’s own feral drawings.
Stirring together elements of punk, shoegaze, art-pop, electronica and new wave into one bizarre, thrilling musical concoction, ratbag is everything you’ve ever known, but nothing you’ve ever heard. With each song, post, show, livestream and drawing, ratbag opens a window into her boundless world, as she crafts in real-time, piece by piece, always evolving in front of you.
