Now this is a special one. I have an incredible intense crush on Kaki King. Aside from her being gorgeous, quirky, and funny, she's an incredible guitarist. She is the only female to be named a "Guitar God" by Rolling Stone. Even though Rolling Stone sucks, it's still true. Quiet, almost Post-Rock like songs are how her first albums felt. Her first album is entirely instrumental. The second has one song where she vocalizes sounds, not words. The third album has a few songs with words.
That brings us to the fourth and newest album, "Dreaming Of Revenge". Right now, this is the album of the year for me, above all else. She does all the guitar and drums, with occasional guest violins. She does all the vocals and lyrics. About half of the songs have vocals, and they are amazing. I can't stress enough how well she sings and plays. It needs to be heard to be believed.
Don't take my ranting about "Dreaming" to mean the other albums are bad, as they are all great on their own. I was a huge fan of hers before "Dreaming" even came out, so there is more than enough to love about each of them. But just watch the first two songs from "Dreaming", particularly the second, which is my favorite song of hers:
Kaki King - Bone Chaos In The Castle
Enjoy, and please support her!
