Katy Kirby - Cool Dry Place - VINYL LP

Blue Raspberry is Katy Kirby's follow up to her renowned debut album Cool Dry Place, which came out in February 2021. Singer/songwriter Katy Kirby introduced her warm, articulate vocals, perceptive lyrics, and playful adult-alternative style on her debut album as she toured tirelessly supporting bands like Waxahatchee, Andy Shauf, Julia Jacklin and Alex G.That record was a tried-and-true folk collection, perfectly displaying the chops of a young songwriter and emanating the warm feel of a band in a room; Blue Raspberry, made with the same band and producers (Logan Chung and Alberto Sewald), hits the gas and enters completely new territory as we see Katy truly step into her own as a songwriting force. She fearlessly leans far into baroque piano pop on tracks like 'Redemption Arc' and the title track 'Blue Raspberry', and lyrically she explores themes of loss and queer love. Very few are able to capture the same emotional, theatrical magic of artists like Fiona Apple, Tom Waits and Joanna Newsom but Katy pulls it off on this record; standout 'Drop Dead'. Album Tracks 1.

Written and recorded in late 2021 after a self-prescribed period of down time spent walking, going on daily cold water swims and Inchjust chillaxing massivelyInch, even the credits on Sound of the Morning Katy J Pearson professes a new thirst for experimentation. Joining Return (2020) producer Ali Chant on desk duties this time was Speedy Wunderground head honcho Dan Carey, who worked on some of the album's grittier tracks. It all makes for a record that's increasingly unafraid to explore life's darker parts, but that does so with an openness that's full of light. As an artist who professes to Inchalways strive for the bittersweetness of thingsInch, Sound of the Morning does just that, taking the listener's hand and guiding them through the good and the bad, like the musical equivalent of an arm around the shoulder. InchI want people to feel things with my music, but I don't want to cause my listener too much trauma,Inch she notes with a cheeky glint. InchCounseling is expensive, so you've got to pick your battles.Inch Album Tracks 1. Sound of the Morning 2. Talk Over Town 3. Riverbed 4. Howl 5. Confession 6. The Hour 7. Float 8. Alligator 9.
