TAKE POWERFUL PIANO ROCK ON THE ROAD THIS FALL;
TOUR WRAPS WITH RECORD RELEASE SHOW IN NEW YORK CITY
DUO SET TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM OCTOBER 13
‘MUSIC FOR STRIPPERS, HOOKERS, AND THE ODD ON-LOOKER’
HELMED BY NOTED PRODUCER TONY VISCONTI
AND FEATURING A DUET WITH PATRICK VAUGHN STUMP
Raised in St. Louis, Young says she “grew up listening to FM radio and FM radio means guitars, guitars, guitars… I always wondered why I couldn’t get my piano to sound that mind-blowing.” In short, KRISTEENYOUNG wants the piano to kick your ass and on MUSIC FOR STRIPPERS, HOOKERS, AND THE ODD ON-LOOKER, they definitely achieve their goal. The pair has continued to evolve their decidedly unique sound and re-teamed with noted producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T. Rex, Morrissey). The new album is a 14-song emotion-spanning masterwork.
Kristeen has previously collaborated with high-profile musicians including Morissey, David Bowie and Brian Molko (of Placebo) and on album track “That’s What It Takes, Dear”– featuring layered and multi-tracked vocals circling one another in a cat-and-mouse duet of contrapuntal grace–she duets with Patrick Vaughn Stump (lead singer of Fall Out Boy). Other stand-out tracks on the album include: “Stop Thinking,” anchored by low-end tone clusters that pummel like thunder; “You Must Love Me” which Morrissey has been using as part of his intro on tour this year; “He’s Sickened By My Crude Emotion,” with its pointed, dissonant jabs and the proclamation “my keyboard shoots from the hip”; “Protestant” where she evokes not only realms of sight and sound but smell and touch as well; and the startling simplicity of album closer “Halfway Across the Atlantic Ocean.”
