R. Missing is New York vocalist Sharon Shy and producer Toppy. The enigmatic duo known for their bleak pop noir have released a remix of their cult track "Kelly Was a Philistine" by Berlin producer Bow Church.
Bow Church first made its name on the London witch house scene alongside artists such as Crim3s and OKKVLT KɅTT. Their sound evolved after relocating and absorbing the experimental and gothic electronic scene in Berlin.
The original version of ‘Kelly Was a Philistine’ was released on vinyl by the revered French label Talitres as part of the 2017 EP ‘Unsummering’. 2021 has already seen the release of R. Missing's single 'Crimeless' on Sugarcane Recordings with remixes by GusGus and The KVB.
