In Heavy Rotation: King – The Story – Self-Released

During one of my off-air conversations on the most recent fundraising excursion at KPFK with Morgan Rhodes (who hosts the Listening Station on KPFK Sundays from 4-6am and hopefully will be sitting in for me on Melting Pot sometime in the next couple months), I was talking about how most of the better next level “Soul” music coming out these days seems to be coming exclusively from Europe (just for starters, Little Dragon, Quadron and most recently WildCookie come to mind) Morgan mentioned a newer Los Angeles based trio that might change my mind on that dynamic. The name of the group is King and since she pointed me in their direction I’ve been listening to tracks from their brand new 3 song EP on repeat. King is made up of three talented women, two of which are twin sisters, and they make a kind of multi-layered modern electronic soul that is simply to die for. “The Story” is the lead and there’s a self-produced video that is so utterly charming I just had to share it with you. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT sleep on this…
