Kaki King

If you haven't heard of Kaki King well let me introduce you to the myth, the legend, the genius herself. Kaki King has been releasing music since 2003. As of today she has released 9 albums.

Her first album called Everybody Loves You. Features basically her doing her innovative style of guitar. She kinda slaps the guitar instead of strums it and this is what basically inspired her/ made her famous.
You see, it used to be cool to have talent. This album showcases one thing only and that's Kaki King's talent for playing the acoustic guitar, songwriting, melody, rhythm, creativity, atmosphere, nostalgia, etc, etc, etc. It's basically just her in front of a mic playing songs on an acoustic guitar. It's awesome!

This album is perfect for long walks alone. Perfect for when you just wanna shut down and hear something beautiful after a long day of work. Perfect for when you wanna hear love. I said "hear love" lol. I mean it though. Perfect for when you just wanna believe in something.

I recommend the song "Carmine Street". I recommend the song "Night After Sidewalk".

This is how I was introduced to Kaki King. I used to ride the bus to school everyday listening to this album. I remember those times vividly.

It seems like on this album, Kaki got a band and everything went down from there. It's not so much about her innovative guitar style on this album, but more about the nostalgia, the melody, the songwriting, the feelings you get from listening to the songs.

Honestly, there's not much music out there that can touch you the way this album does. You can put your headphones on and travel the world to this album. You can forget all your troubles to this album. You can close your eyes and just exist. People talk about a lot of stuff all day everyday, but this album makes you FEEL it. You can feel serenity. You can feel peace, life, hope, despair, yearning, struggle, etc, etc, etc. A lot of people want music that "makes sense". Welllllll, I can tell you that this music doesn't make sense, but it makes sense!

Marilyn Monroes once said that nobody could every really love anybody, and she was sure of it. Well, if you want to believe in something, and believe in people in general, "Legs To Make Us Longer" can help you. . . .

Things I think about while listening to "Legs To Make Us Longer" . . .

I recommend the song "Ignots", "Doing The Wrong Thing", "Solipsist","Neanderthal", "Can the Gwot Save Us?", and "Nails".   

THE REST IS UP TO YOU TO DISCOVER.! YOU'VE GOT 4 ALBUM 2 GO!!!! GOOOD LUCK
