Multitudes Of Venom is Kelley's sixth album released under her Blevin Blectum alias, the second to drop on equally eccentric Los Angeles label Deathbomb Arc. Multitudes Of Venom "features a live recording of a performance on Stanford’s KZSU radio, billed as a presentation of music from 2023’s Omnii, but you wouldn’t know from listening to it. Instead, Multitudes Of Venom features a heady collision of samples, signals and loops that speed and scramble across a universe of sonic possibility." == Personal Life ==
