NYC-based Ziemba is coming out guns-blazing with her new track “Ugly Ambitious Women” and accompanying video. She’s the best friend you wish you had. Or the mom. She’s Artemis in the flesh.

“The eye of the world stuck in tired hierarchies is a pure mirror and a damn prison. “

The moniker of artist René Kladzyk (who makes music and fragrances), Ziemba is full of many talents, and not afraid to speak her mind. Since first making an incense for her debut album (using flowers from the yard of her childhood home, bearing the instruction to burn while listening), she has expanded the ways that she uses fragrance to transform sonic spaces. And that was just the beginning. Since then, she’s done work for National Sawdust (here in NYC) and was the music artist-in-residence at Pioneer Works (in Red Hook, Brooklyn).

All of this to say, I am beyond thrilled to share this new, thought-provoking video with all of you on the Left Bank. She represents the kind of art and music we champion, so thanks to Ziemba for sharing it with us, and thanks to you all for watching and supporting.
