Strange Stains

Strange Stains is the project of musician and artist Cooki Ami. Ami first started making music while based in Australia, with her early work focussing on live performance. She describes her recent music as taking on a sadder, darker feel, with Under the Radar describing Strange Stains as conjuring a mood “somewhere between the soundtrack to an 80s horror movie and a lullaby.”

In April 2017 Strange Stains released Bogan Atmosphere, including a limited edition tape release. The tapes were produced through Dubbed Tapes, recording over old tapes of “over-represented men music, like the Eagles, Phil Collins, Sting, etc.”

Ami has also performed in the rock opera Death and the Mermaid, produced by fellow Wellingtonians Hex, as well as starring in Hex’s music video for ‘Page of Pentacles’. In August 2016 she visited Japan as part of an artists’ residency.
