King Woman (Kristina Esfandiari of Miserable/Whirr) Releasing Digital Download/Limited Edition Cassette Single on June 17 via The Native Sound; “Fond Affections” (Rema-Rema cover) Premiering on The Bay Bridged |
Kristina Esfandiari is King Woman. Following her debut EP as Miserable, Kristina returns to her original solo-moniker for the Dove / Fond Affectionscassingle/ digital single – her second release as King Woman. “Fond Affections”, a cover of the classic Rema-Rema song, is premiering today on The Bay Bridged. The seven minute track is a powerful and poignant take on the 4AD standard made popular by This Mortal Coil, and is nothing short of gorgeous – a true testament to her development as a songwriter, and a hint of what’s to come from this project’s future releases. The first track, “Dove” (which premiered last Friday on Impose Magazine builds on the haunting folk of King Woman’s 2013 Degrida / Sick Bedsingle. “Dove” is a slow-burning, muscular, and above all, monstrous song. Clocking in at over 15 minutes, it is by far the most emotive of Kristina’s recent compositions. Dove / Fond Affections will be available on June 17th as both a digital download and on a limited edition cassingle via The Native Sound. The cassette tape will be pressed on three variants (White, Clear, and Purple), each limited to just 50 copies, fit with a three-panel J-card. The cassingle will also include a bonus track – B. Wild’s remix of “Dove”. Pre-order Dove / Fond Affections in The Native Sound store or onBandcamp. |
