Klypi is described as an alien who’s trapped on Earth and recognizes that the only way to survive as a human is to become a successful businessman (as well as to learn how to tackle a wide range of human emotions and experiences). Isolation and unrequited love are just a couple of themes that run through Klypi’s work.
AC’s creative journey comes from the lineage of artists-turned-musicians past: DEVO, Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, and Suicide. AC is interested in the immediacy of pop music, while simultaneously digging for something deeper and experimenting with those boundaries. Previously a painter and sculptor, AC has harnessed those skills to construct their sonic, visual, and conceptual world, while their songs have even been described as painterly: layered, vibrant, and textured.
What you hear and what you see is all crafted by AC Carter. The writing and recording. The song production. The outfit. The merchandise. Heck - even this website.

quotes
Icon Enterprises
“...a dazzling mix of synth-driven new wave, lo-fi charm, Peaches-like sass, and earworm-worthy pop hooks.” - Arnaud Marty, Highclouds“As Klypi continues to develop new projects, the message remains clear: be unaplogogetically yourself.” - LADYGUNN
“The album’s layered electro-pop sound offers a nostalgic yet timely exploration of our modern world.“ - Run The Trap
EP 1.0
“So this EP rules, I just gotta say. REALLY good work.” - Ned Raggett“World’s next biggest POP STAR!” - Tag Erkes
“My wife is your new biggest fan” - Conrad Leadley
“This is a function Im finna be at” - Ryan Adam
Consensual Hits
“There’s something genuinely Bowie-ish going on here... One to watch.” - Colin Bond, God Is In The TV“Great artists always create work that’s inescapably imbued with the socio-political climate that surrounds it, and Klypi’s debut effort feels like a natural document of everything exciting and revolutionary being pioneered by artists in the trans and queer communities. Consensual Hits is a thrilling piece of the dynamic, forward-thinking pop that thrusts itself into the contemporary discourse around identity and gender but also points to how fun, freeing, and buoyant life could be when rid of the shackles of patriarchy and heteronormative stagnation.” - Tom Phelan, Head On Sticks
“Unapologetic...Consensual Hits is a fantastic introduction to a fascinating artist...” - Nick Roseblade, God Is In The TV
“Consensual Hits is an ambitious synth-pop album that, while downright Dada at times, is self-aware and deliberate with its various experiments.” - Jessica Smith, Flagpole
“a gracious cinematic representation of a taste of pop to come” - Sunni Johnson, WUSSY MAG
