Kathmandu is an alternative four-piece band led by songwriter and lyricist Donna Marie. Their catchy, dreamy songs thrive on the tension between light and dark, exploring the spaces where the two meet.
Drawing from the vast realms of alternative music, the band blends introspective reflection with the playfulness of indie pop. Yet, at their most ambitious, their songs will draw you in, leading the way to climaxes of a cinematic grandeur. Kathmandu is perhaps best compared to incense smoke. Hazy, but uplifting with an intense melancholy air that lingers.

Donna Marie says of the song:

“This song lyrically focuses on my desire for change and the feeling of being stuck in my (then-current) situation. It’s an introspective track about wanting to ‘escape’ and create a fresh start for myself, while seeking space for my own needs and passions. Interestingly, the song’s bright, summery vibe contrasts
with the underlying emotions. However, these emotions aren’t necessarily negative—they were more of a wake-up call for me. The message I want to convey with this song is that it’s never too late to start over. But you have to initiate it yourself, because no one else will do it for you.”

Different Life is out now and is to be followed by three more singles and an EP!
