McKinley

Big Top Shop Talk

CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.

SPECIAL: 10% discount if you buy more than one copy of it today!

Acoustic pop with the serious groove of Matt Chamberlain's drums, the curious texture of David Torn's guitars, and McKinley's spooky conversational voice. More break-up than make-out music, although it has been done.

notes

McKinley grew up in Anchorage, Alaska where she spent a lot of time pretending she was a cowboy or a secret agent. She then went to a girl's Catholic high school in California where she learned "Hail Mary" in Spanish and how to gracefully scale a chain link fence without snagging her pleated skirt.

She has lived in London, Israel, and now Portland, OR.

great, intriging album from sensually singer
author: rené
This is a great, intriging album from a sensually singer, comparable with the fascinating works of Wes Martin and Andy Rhinehart. Matt Chamberlain's swampy drums dictate the low rhythms, Fima Ephron's basses add a deep, warm sound, Adam Widoff's guitars create effective licks, while David Torn is all over the place, although in a very subtle way. Of course the main actress here is McKinley, who sings everything in a quite, personal way, which makes even When Doves Cry her own song. Hard to pick up a highlight, although my personal fav is Miss Me, with a sensitive guitarsolo of Torn.
