Kacey Johansing to Release Sophomore Album

To call Kacey Johansing‘s music “orchestral pop“ snubs the jazz, the old rock ‘n’ roll, the folk, and the little hints of R&B that took up residence in these songs. It’s piano and string heavy, with listless, meandering melodies, and (once in a while) Fleet Foxian harmonies. Her languid, grenadine voice has a way of conjuring strolls on rain-drenched lanes lit by too few street lamps, and hazy evenings in Blue Velvet nightclubs.

You can download a cut or two for free on Johansing’s SoundCloud, and look forward to listening to the whole shebang on February 26, 2013.
