Description
Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.KING WOMAN, the outfit featuring songwriter, vocalist and u201ctour de force of gloom and woeu201d (Rolling Stone) Kris Esfandiari, return with their eagerly-awaited sophomore album, Celestial Blues. Feeling compelled to reshape the biblical archetypes that once bound her, Esfandiari has created a theatrical tale of rebellion, tragedy, and triumph u2014 a metaphor for her own personal experiences over the years u2014 Celestial Blues was born. Esfandiari sets a dramatic tone for the record with u201cMorning Staru201d echoing the primeval account of Lucifer's fall from grace. Esfandiari smugly whispers: u201cyou know it could have been you / so donu2019t you dare judge the things that I dou201d u2014 the fallen archangel in deceitful persuasion. Esfandiari is accompanied by the beastly drumming of Joseph Raygoza and Peter Arendorf's heavy-laden guitar flooding empty spaces with great fervoru2014 masterfully stirring the listener with every sparse, emotional pluck. KING WOMAN once again takes us to church with hardcore gospel, u201cCoil'. u201cFive wounds you rape me / but I resurrectu201d declares Esfandiari in unhinged jubilation. Esfandiari desperately begs to be absolved in the crazed offerings of u201cPsychic Woundu201d, ultimately regaining a powerful reflection of herself after a provocative and tormenting dance with the Devil.Celestial Blues is at once a masterclass on crushing atmospheric doom, and at times a sobering take on the weightier sides of shoegaze. At the album's core, a palpable tension can be felt. Acoustic guitars soar before descending into a darkness of riff-heavy distortion. Drums build upon these moments and explode into a cacophonous groove. Esfandiari's voice remains at the forefront; somber moments lead to burning intensity and crescendo. This ebb and flow is constant.Recorded in Oakland, California by GRAMMY-nominated engineer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Amenra, Oathbreaker) Celestial Blues sees KING WOMAN take a daring step forward as one of the genre's luminaries, releasing one of the year's most evocative records.
