On King Me's previous album "Almost Summer", they had some trouble escaping the pull
of their mere influences. On their new album "Keep It Here" they free themselves
through increased experimentation. The songs are stretched out and heavy with
thick
reverb and
drone, marching plaintivly through syrup. The vocals are usually low in the
mix and hard to understand
but the inflection and melodies are unmistakably forelorn. The production and
mix make a drifting and dreamy soundscape out of several guitars, bass, cello,
organ, drums, vocals, and tapes/effects. The record does drag a bit around
the middle, but it picks
up again and finishes strong with the final two songs. Their loveliest
moments boast a languid, doleful beauty calling to mind slowcore acts like
Red House Painters.
