Hear it at viceland.com .

Junior out tomorrow

Kaki King's new album, Junior, is due out tomorrow, but it's been online for some time. If you haven't heard it yet, you can stream it at spinner.com. Kaki King is a fabulous guitarist. Junior differs from her previous albums in that there are fewer purely instrumental tracks and more songs that showcase her skills as a vocalist. Songs that stand out include "The Betrayer" and "Everything has an End Even Sadness." Actually, I take that back. All of the tracks stand out. This is a great album.
