KT Laine

KT Laine is a study in subtlety. Her songs radiate a positively warm glow, sweetly burnished and unhurried. And while her performances make them seem effortless, they are also finely constructed pieces that recall certain like-minded contemporary singer-songwriters (Angel Olsen, Cate Le Bon, Big Thief) as much as '60s and '70s legends like Linda Perhacs, Sybille Baier, and Judee Sill. Live, the songs are brought to life with a cool, collected stage presence, easygoing yet laser-focused, and cut through with Laine's languid vocals and equally mellow between-song asides.
