MAMA KIN – THE MAGICIAN’S DAUGHTER

Perth singer Mama Kin drops a timely new collection of tunes so personal and involving that you can almost feel the warmth of her breath on your skin. The production on the record is excellent as is the woody timbre of the rhythm section, murmuring organs and twinkling guitars present delightful scenery around Mama Kin’s vocal delivery as she sings of love, life and escape. The record is steeped in blues, soul and country but has an air of indie experimentation, tying together ideas and sounds that aren’t disparate; but have just never been brought together in quite a fresh way before.
