We are excited to announce that Kat Jones’ new full length album, WE ARE WARM, YOUNG, BLOOD is scheduled for release on July 31st!
“Her band, with drummer Megan Coleman, bassist Chris Murphy, and Andrew Colling and Ryan Stubbs on guitars, spell-casts an incantatory eight song collection which deftly uses post-punk, flamenco, and operatic musical forms to convey all our emotions at the beginning of the end of time. It is worldwide theatrical musical therapy for an international artist known for shrewdly working the fringes of art with a stalwart scientific heart…” -Chris Estey
In the meantime, two singles, “Dear Apocalypse” and “Blood Under The Redwoods” are available wherever you stream your music.
