KING WOMAN, the outfit featuring songwriter, vocalist and “tour de
force of gloom and woe” (Rolling Stone) Kris Esfandiari, return with
their eagerly-awaited sophomore album, Celestial Blues. Feeling
compelled to reshape the biblical archetypes that once bound her,
Esfandiari has created a theatrical tale of rebellion, tragedy, and
triumph — a metaphor for her own personal experiences over the years
— Celestial Blues was born. Celestial Blues is at once a masterclass
on crushing atmospheric doom, and at times a sobering take on the
weightier sides of shoegaze. At the album's core, a palpable tension can
be felt. Acoustic guitars soar before descending into a darkness of
riff-heavy distortion. Drums build upon these moments and explode into a
cacophonous groove. Esfandiari's voice remains at the forefront; somber
moments lead to burning intensity and crescendo. This ebb and flow is
constant. Recorded in Oakland, California by GRAMMY-nominated engineer
Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Amenra, Oathbreaker) Celestial Blues sees KING
WOMAN take a daring step forward as one of the genre's luminaries,
releasing one of the year's most evocative records.
