KAKI KING

The music of American guitarist/singer Kaki King steers between folk and alternative rock. Her recent album Junior is like a diary filled with emotional confessions. Compelling songs about love and loss are alternated with richly layered instrumentals. Kaki King is praised for her fabulous playing, where she approaches the guitar like a piano or a percussion instrument. ‘She’s managing to harness her breathtaking technique into songs that rock with punkish energy’ (SPIN).
