Okay Kaya

Backed by lead singer in opening band Zenizen Opal Hoyt and a contrabass player, Okay Kaya had National Sawdust under her spell from start to finish as she played material from her new album for Jagjaguwar, Watch This Liquid Pour Itself.

This week's ten Notable Releases include Higher Power's '90s rock-inspired LP2, Caspian's latest triumph, Wolf Parade's reliably solid new LP, Crowbar frontman Kirk Windstein's solo debut, and more.

She's performing at the Williamsburg location of artisan ice cream shop Van Leeuwen (who will be carrying Kaya's own new flavor), DJing The Whitney's annual Art Party, and playing a proper full-band show at National Sawdust...
