Recomedia

I don't get out much, so it's rare that I find new music I like other than that weird bleepy drug-addict music that streams into my computer from the Internet sometimes when I forget to turn off the faucet. But I just stumbled across Kaki King, an amazingly talented vocalist/guitarist, who seems to be a master of something called "slap guitar" that I've never heard of before but is pretty damn cool:

Wow. I listened to a few tracks from her second-newest album, Until We Felt Red and I sure do like it. Dreamy female vocals and ambient guitar; somewhere I saw a comparison to Sea and Cake and Tortoise, which seems plausible. I'd add in my old-fogey way that her voice reminds me of Opus III (i.e. the female vocal sample in Halcyon and on and on, which everyone likes) and her electronic backup sounds are subtle and tasteful.
