Rave Reviews For Kristeen Young's "Powerful Dissonant" (Hollywood Reporter) Live Show Opening For Morrissey; New LP Out This Week

Kristeen Young is earning critical acclaim for her live show opening on Morrissey’s 26-date US tour supporting her new album ‘The Knife Shift’ (out this week), which was co-produced by Tony Visconti and features Dave Grohl playing drums on the full record and guitar on five tracks. Performing with a three-piece band, The Hollywood Reporter praised Kristeen’s “wild, psychedelic presence” and “powerfully dissonant provocations,” while LA weekly said she’s “a bold and confident performer... her crystal-clear voice rang out like a shot.”

Last week, SPIN.com premiered a full stream of ‘The Knife Shift,’ saying the album "channels the otherworldly, art-rock dramatics of Kate Bush, along with the ferocity of Sleater-Kinney," and The New York Times praised her “aggressive soulfulness.” See below for tour dates and more.
