TO SUPPORT UPCOMING RELEASE, DREAMING OF REVENGE
 |
Due out March 11 and produced by Grammy Award-winning musician and producer Malcom Burn (Emmylou Harris, Peter Gabriel), Dreaming Of Revenge follows 2006’s critically-acclaimed …Until We Felt Red. Red found King branching out with songs that featured electric and pedal-steel guitar, horns, and, for the first time, vocals. The New York Times said the record sounded like “the abstract, dreamy, and hypnotic end of alternative rock.” Revenge picks up that thread, continuing her evolution from acoustic instrumentalist to full-fledged, multi-faceted songwriter. Previously, her whispery, ethereal voice was used as mainly another element in her sonic arsenal. This time around, King put more effort into both her vocals and the lyrics, and, as a result, Dreaming Of Revenge is King’s most accessible record to date.
Aside from work on Revenge, King has had a busy and exciting few months. King recorded two tracks for last year’s Warner Bros. film “August Rush,” in which she appeared as a guitar-playing hand double. Then, King was drafted by Sean Penn to compose original music for several scenes in Penn’s acclaimed film “Into the Wild,” which also features two of King’s previously released songs. The score went on to receive a coveted Golden Globe Nomination. Aside from Sean Penn, King also has a fan in Foo Fighters‘s frontman Dave Grohl, who asked her to duet with him on “Ballad of The Beaconsfield Miners” from the Foos’ current album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.
