Musical style and influences

Production techniques and sound

Cashmere Cat's production style is characterized by heavy use of sampling and vocal chopping, where he fragments vocals into glitchy, stuttering patterns to create rhythmic and textural complexity. This technique, often applied to pop and R&B elements, produces a signature "cashmere" texture—described as soft and ethereal yet subtly distorted through layering with warm, analog-like synths. For instance, in early works like the track "Mirror Maru," he reframes sampled and bass elements into arpeggiated chords and syncopated glitches, building tension through off-beat rhythms and open chord voicings spread across octaves for a fuller, immersive sound. He primarily relies on for real-time manipulation and arrangement, enabling flexible sampling and live effects processing, while also incorporating for more polished mixing and editing in collaborative sessions. Influences from are evident in his creation of fragmented, crystalline sounds, achieved by stretching and granulating short audio snippets—such as mutating a coin drop into a harp-like sustain or corroding vocals into kaleidoscopic harmonies via plugins like the prismizer. This approach allows for ethereal distortions that blend seamlessly with soft synth layers, often drawn from hardware like the or for organic warmth. His sound has evolved from the choppy, experimental remixes of the 2012 Mirror Maru EP, which emphasized raw patterns and hip-hop-inspired beats, to the more refined pop hybrids on the 2017 album 9, where vocal chops integrate with string arrangements and dynamic shifts for broader appeal. By the 2019 album Princess Catgirl, the production shifts to a minimalist aesthetic, retreating to introspective, hushed atmospheres with twisted pop samples and cloudy synth squalls. Throughout his work, Cashmere Cat balances experimental flair with accessibility by fusing drops—marked by kinetic builds and metallic interruptions—with subtle R&B , ensuring tracks remain radio-friendly while retaining intriguing, "" contrasts that subvert expectations. This hybrid approach, evident in collaborations on 9, pushes pop vocals into unexpected directions, like Bon Iver-esque falsettos or gaseous, dreamy glows, without overwhelming the core emotional core.

Simultaneously, electronic acts such as —particularly their album Discovery—introduced him to glitchy, mysterious textures that informed his affinity for warped and unconventional sounds. These elements combined with bloghouse influences from artists like Mr. Oizo and the Ed Banger collective, reflecting a solitary creative process in a region lacking a local DJ or hip-hop scene. His genre evolution began in the late 2000s with dubstep and electronic club music, evident in early releases like the 2012 Mirror Maru EP, which featured icy, stuttering beats and plunking synthesizers. By the mid-2010s, through collaborations with artists like Ariana Grande and The Weeknd, he shifted toward future bass, alternative R&B, and pop-trap hybrids, incorporating Jersey club rhythms and EDM elements into mainstream tracks. This progression culminated in the 2017 album 9, a genre-splicing pop experiment influenced by Björk's Vulnicura, blending high-profile features with unexpected drops and string arrangements. By 2019, with Princess Catgirl, his sound evolved further into hyperpop and PC Music-inspired territory, adopting Vocaloid-like digital vocals and anime aesthetics through an animated feline persona, marking a retreat to muted, introspective electronic hush. Cultural factors, including Scandinavian minimalism, infused his work with emotional restraint and , contrasting the global pop sheen gained from international collaborations. Post-2017, amid rising fame, his music increasingly emphasized , as seen in the tender, forlorn themes of 9 and Princess Catgirl, where personal depth emerges through altered vocals and subtle harmonies. His reclusive nature—often concealing his face in public and using alter egos like Princess Catgirl as a shield—fostered self-reflective production, channeling experiences of isolation into a "bedroom-listening" aesthetic that prioritizes solitary emotional resonance over spectacle.
