"Even though half the tracks are instrumentals, I feel like I'm writing pop songs," - Kaki King

Kaki King returns with her fourth album, 'Dreaming Of Revenge', after her contributions to Foo Fighters and Tegan & Sara's latest albums, and having been nominated for a Golden Globe award for "Into The Wild" together with Eddie Vedder. The album is set for release March 11, 2008 through Velour Music Group.

'Dreaming Of Revenge' showcases Kaki King's desire to branch out with songs that feature electric and pedal-steel guitar, horns, and, for the first time, vocals. Produced by Malcolm Burn, a Grammy-Award winning musician and producer who is known for his work with Daniel Lanois, Peter Gabriel, and Emmylou Harris, 'Dreaming Of Revenge' allows us to witness her evolution from acoustic instrumentalist to full-fledged, multi-faceted songwriter.

Previously, her whispery, ethereal voice was mainly used as another element in her sonic arsenal. This time around, King put more effort into both her vocals and the lyrics she wrote for such deeply felt tracks as "Life Being What It Is," and "2 O'Clock," which she describes as break-up songs. "The words mean something now," she says. "They're actually telling stories." In 2007, Kaki King branched out into film work, composing original music for several scenes in the Sean Penn-directed film Into The Wild, which also features two of her previously released songs.

"We really concentrated on the melodies. Everything I write tends to be dense and chordal, but this time the idea was to layer the challenging guitar work under very simple, beautiful melodies. I really wanted them to be memorable." - Kaki King

On Sunday January 20th, 2008 Kaki will be giving New Yorkers an exclusive sneak-peek performance at the Apple Store in SoHo (103 Prince Street) from 3:00-4:00pm.

Don't miss your chance to see Kaki King live at SXSW!
