Stream Kassi Valazza's new single "Corners" off new LP 'Kassi Valazza Knows Nothing'
Portland artist Kassi Valazza is preparing to release her sophomore LP, Kassi Valazza Knows Nothing, due out May 26 via Fluff & Gravy Records. We’re premiering the latest single, “Corners,” a twangy ballad taking influence from ’70s Americana and gentle, folky psychedelia. About it, Kassi says:
On this album, everything was recorded live, all the vocals and instrumentation. We recorded in a room together with TK and The Holy Know-Nothings, who hadn’t heard any of the songs before we went into the studio. You’re rarely going to find a songwriter that writes and composes every single song; it’s a combination of people working things out together, of what I want and what the band hears. When people don’t know the songs, it’s a lot looser and more magic can happen. You don’t overthink it. One thing I really loved about recording ‘Corners’ in particular was watching the guys do the four-part harmonies. It finally felt like the song was coming together. I also made a point to have no electric guitar to add to those breezy Eagles sounds, making it the only track on the album without electric guitar.
