NYC super duo release “Voices

“VOICES is a reflection on our struggle to navigate an overstimulating world of screens and relentless noise. Kaelin’s performance is an act of resistance — a search for stillness and genuine human connection.”

Fatales is a New York City duo: vocalist Kaelin Kost, whose Chilean American heritage shapes the ethereal, mystical edge of her voice, and guitarist/producer David Pattillo, whose songwriting draws on classic Americana and rock. Praised by Goldmine Magazine for a dynamic that “works and works well,” together they craft what they call “epic western” — cinematic dream pop drawing on influences from Fleetwood Mac to classic western film, landing alongside alt-rock innovators like The Last Dinner Party, Wolf Alice, and Fontaines D.C. On their new single “Voices,” Kaelin’s soft vulnerability sits in stark contrast to Pattillo’s rock guitars, the tension between fragility and force driving the song’s emotional pull.

Kost made her name as a solo artist signed to 300 Entertainment, where her single “Mulholland Drive” surpassed 1.5 million streams on Spotify. Pattillo is the veteran singer, songwriter, and producer behind alt-rock band Strange Majik, with a catalog seven albums deep. The two began collaborating in 2024, pairing urban isolation and cinematic sensibility with rock, pop, and dream-pop vocals — a chemistry first heard on “No Heroes” and carried forward on “Voices,” whose full-length cinematic video has already drawn thousands of plays across YouTube and Instagram in a matter of days.

Strange Majik “The One You Want” Single

July 14, 2026 – After a month long European tour Strange Majik returns with a deep cut delivering a fresh take on unrequited love. Like a moody lost track from Peter Gabriel or Kate Bush in 1989, this track showcases the unique production, vocals and guitar work of David Pattillo.  After much of the positive press and radio play from 2025’s “NYC Animal,” fans are looking forward to the new 2026 LP and tour. 

Strange Majik’s “Moment of Time” single


FEB 24, 2026 – Strange Majik releases a hard rock guitar driven juggernaut layered in psychedelic overtones. “Living in the moment is multitudinous. I wanted to create a layering of separate realities that would work together like a montage. The guitars are part of my 90s rock roots and create that sonic layered soundscape. I have always paid attention to dreams and recite a spoken word about an indigenous reverie. Fans have already been loving this live.”

The mythology of the west is rich and robust.  Kaelin Kost and David Pattillo united in the acknowledgement of the darker side of the west in the forming of Fatales. The NYC based duo create a cinematic landscape like a future acid western soundtrack. They call it “epic western.” Mystery, darkness and the surreal ooze from the museworthy Kost whose roots stretch back to the Chilean Mapuche tribe. Fatales are honoring that spirit through the power of dreamscape rock and the female voice. 

Strange Majik releases NEWYORKCITY – May 2, 2025

NEWYORKCITY” is Strange Majik’s new raw, unfiltered soul bite of the Big Apple. Fueled by a Ginsberg reference, Brooklyn slumming, a grungy guitar riff, Geoff Burke’s west side sax, and swagger-drenched vocals, this track channels the city’s existential chaos and concrete cool. With echoes of Lenny Kravitz, The Black Keys, and LCD Soundsystem, “NEWYORKCITY” blends vintage rock ‘n’ roll attitude with a new twist. It’s a street anthem for the grunge loving Gen Z, the bold, and the beautifully weird.

Strange Majik releases “Stranger” Jan 17, 2025

Inspired by soul music of the 70s and 80s David Pattillo aka Strange Majik releases the brand new single “Stranger.” The summer and fall of 2024 brought a renewed fascination of F. Scott Fitzgerald with his iconic prose and worldly sense of class. “I re-read Gatsby and devoured his remaining catalogue. Strangers is a paean to both.” This track features the jazz touches of Geoff Burke on saxophone and swooning Chopin-esque flourishes of Sean Spada on piano.

Strange Majik drops a banger with “Queen Of The Night”

Following up the “NYC Animal” album, Strange Majik re-emerges with the bold “Queen Of The Night,” a rock nod to the iconic Giorgio Moroder whose sexy dance floor bangers propelled Blondie, David Bowie and Donna Summer Into the 80s. Backed by his Fripp inspired infinite sustaining guitar lines, Geoff Burke on sax, and up and coming Brooklyn soul artist Bako on background vocals this is a hybrid rock juggernaut.

With a catalog of 7 albums and multiple singles this is Majik’s 73rd release. From the deep soul grooves of his 2015 “Lights On,” to the glammy garage rock of 20/20, to the 2024 punk infused NY rock influences, Strange Majik is an artist who continues to defy the norm. We invite you to play and thank you for being a part of the team!

“’NYC Animal’ is a collection of ‘unadulterated sonic brilliance’, which can be defined in many ways — ways which always lead back to the artist exemplifying his elemental brand of iconic New York Rock, Disco, Psych and Soul.”

Tone Scott – Goldmine Magazine

“His latest LP is a paean to his adopted home city, homing in on the pre-gentrification danger encapsulated by Lou, Iggy, and sticky floor dives such as CBGB’s. With a touch of Y2K indie sleaze and some nightclub grooves Pattillo has crafted a sound drenched in nocturnal, hedonistic vibes.”Duncan Fletcher – Shindig Magazine
