Kaki King Debuts 'Magazine' Orchestral Version via WNYC Soundcheck
By: Caryn Robbins Aug. 23, 2017
Renowned guitarist Kaki King recently announced her first new material in over two years, and fans can now get their first listen via WNYC's Soundcheck. One of King's most well known solo compositions, "Magazine", was originally released on her 2004 album Legs to Make Us Longer, and is now given an orchestral makeover by the Porta Girevole Chamber Orchestra. The incorporation of woodwinds and additional strings further adds to the dynamics and building anticipation the track incites. The full album is available for preorder now.
Hailed by Rolling Stone as "a genre unto herself," Brooklyn-based composer and guitarist Kaki King has released 8 albums over the past 13 years. She has performed on every continent over the course of multiple world tours, and has presented her work in a variety of prestigious arts centers, including the Kennedy Center, MoMA, LACMA and The Met. She has created music for numerous film and TV soundtracks, including "August Rush" and Sean Penn's "Into the Wild", for which received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Score.
