Brooklyn based guitar virtuoso Kaki King has announced the release of her sixth studio album. Glow, produced by D. James Goodwin, follows her widely acclaimed 2010’s Junior.

All instrumental and marking an artistic reboot for herself, Glow is a guitar record as King described. “This is the sound of a person playing guitar. Whatever additions we made, the fundamental of this record is still one person playing a guitar. That’s who I am.”
King added that Glow is “full of beautiful guitar songs accompanied by string quartet, bagpipes, low pillowy bass drum thuds, shakers galore, and a library of unique soundscapes that were created in the studio for each piece.”

The album is due out on October 9th via Velour Recordings and will be followed by a North American tour.

Whilst we wait for King to drop a cut from the upcoming album, check out a video from one of her performances last month, where she played ‘Bowen Island’, a new song off Glow.
