Perth songwriter KUKA has shared her new single Ascension, three months after returning earlier this year with Contemplation.

KUKAs latest features the producer real name Laura Jane Lowther singing over a swirling bed of hazy, ethereal synths and vocal samples, with understated electronic percussion underneath. Listen to Ascension below:

Ascension is about the continual growth that we are all undertaking at every stage of our life, explained the producer in a statement.

Were constantly faced with new challenges whether we realise it or not and its important that we dont let our fears get in the way of our enjoyment of the process.

According to a press release, Lowther has been steadily building a catalogue of her own music in recent years. Her last full collection of songs under her KUKA moniker was 2015 EP Unconditional. In the time since, shes collaborated with a wide range of artists including the likes of Flume, Vince Staples, A$AP Rocky, Cosmos Midnight and more.

Last year, Lowther returned after a three-year break with a pair of singles the Flume-assisted Drowning and Real, co-produced by Nosaj Thing. She also appeared alongside SOPHIE on Voices, which appeared on Flumes 2019 mixtape Hi This Is Flume.
