2006, Velour Recordings
Kaki King ditches her normal acoustic thrash-plucking and makes Until We Felt Red—the most conventional album of her career.
This is a good, good thing and a step beyond past efforts. Here, Ms. King’s supernatural picking actually frames the songs, as dreamy instrumentals flow into even more dreamy epics. Until We Felt Red is at once melancholy, fluid, psychedelic, and even energetic: Kaki even (really!) rocks out on a few songs.
Ms. King continues to defy convention by refusing to stick to what merely works, and there is no sense of a misstep. A gem.
