Kaki King has been astounding audiences around the world for a decade now with her virtuosic control including her percussive two handed techniques of the acoustic guitar. Kaki’s sixth album ‘Glow’ has just been released and is a record filled with lush soundscapes provided by her interesting choice of instrumentation. As you will see in the video below and hear in the interview Kaki uses some very cool instruments on Glow as well as string ensembles to add an extra dimension to her compositions. The production is really great, solo acoustic tracks are subtly enhanced with percussion elements or tremelo guitar drenched in reverb so as not to interfere with Kaki’s incredible playing.
