Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - The Kid

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith follows up a collaborative album with electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani and her breakthrough long player EARS with her latest journey, The Kid. A double album in length that portrays the earliest steps of life's journey through a majestic sense of awe, mysticism and wonder.

So flipping stoked. Wish I could preorder direct from Western Vinyl instead of Bleep, but their website doesn't seem to have updated yet. Always have trouble with Bleep on mobile.

EDIT: WV site's updated with three different price points for the US colored vinyl? Are there bonus goodies or is this a donation situation?

Only been familiar with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith in the last year but I am glad she's getting a lot of attention. Interesting track: I like it when talented producers take a dip into singing and end up being excellent vocalists.

I get some Elizabeth Frasier vibes from that track.

I went to school with her and have collaborated on stuff in the past. It's really weird seeing her get a bunch of attention, but glad it's happening.

last year album was superb

Lots of vocalists now seem influenced heavily by Fever Ray

like who?

not asking facetiously, I hear that on occasion myself randomly on the radio or listening to mixes but can't name anyone off-hand - never got into Fever Ray / The Knife that much but her vocal phrasing/timbre is distinct

In retrospect it was a superficial observation. Mainly I meant that sort of weird octave layering that FR does.

Some examples:

Another artist using a similar thing on her vocals:

Not saying it's bad at all. I quite like the effect.

Thought you meant Sugar Ray until I saw that video. I was very confused. I definitely thought she was the girl from The Knife on a couple tracks off of EARS though.

This is out now. Sounds great.

Just got my vinyl in the mail yesterday! Gorgeous album.

bumpin' for a Four Tet remix, also this album is still great

I'm late to the party here but this is a gorgeous album, one of my top 5 this year for sure. Such an ear for natural and organic sounds and catchy as fuck songwriting. It's actually got me really into trying to produce modular-esque stuff with my Volca Keys, which I haven't played with for a while (I'm never going down the modular rabbit hole, I won't come back).
