Kaki King - 'Glow' Album Launch
Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a genre unto herself,” Kaki King is a true iconoclast, a visionary musician/artist whose singular work rightly stands out amongst the easily formatted.
Over her decade-long career thus far, the Brooklyn-based guitarist/composer has recorded five extraordinarily diverse and distinctive LPs, performed with such icons as Foo Fighters, Timbaland, and The Mountain Goats, contributed to a variety of film and TV soundtracks (spanning Golden Globe-nominated work with Eddie Vedder and Michael Brook on Sean Penn’s Into The Wild to teaming with Carter Burwell on his blockbuster Twilight score), and played to ever-growing audiences on innumerable world tours.
Glow, her groundbreaking new Velour Music Group release, is both indescribable and definitive, an evocative, exuberant collection of genre agnostic soundscapes, rich with wit, theme, and inspired invention.
Duration: 90mins
"Kaki King has never been just a guitarist. While her immaculately picked guitar remains the centerpiece, she creates immersive, organic and cinematic compositions." Relix
"A true emotional ride, Kaki King cements her position as a great artist with Glow. Her command of the guitar creates a unique listening experience that explores every raw emotion. Her devotion to guitar and other string instruments is a refreshing change from a musical culture saturated by synthesizers. King’s Glow proves that getting back to the basics can be a very good thing." Paste
"With Glow, King excels in achieving lightness through simplicity. She engages the listener with an immersive, inspiring listen. You almost forget it's just one woman with a guitar. Through a playful, emotive manipulation of noise, the acclaimed guitarist challenges the boundaries of acoustics through just six strings and a whole lot of rhythm." Consequence of Sound
