Description
There is no one like Spencer Kingman. This is music that stops you in your tracks, demands your focused attention, requires you to be fully absorbed. Its not often that a singer-songwriter can achieve such results. This is my favorite kind of music, Spencer is my favorite songwriter, and these are his best songs. Nat Baldwin (Dirty Projectors)
Spenking is Spencer Kingman making his vinyl debut after more than a decade of playing with the likes of Dirty Projectors, Flaspar, Viking Moses, Low Skies, Deer Tick, Castanets and Jana Hunter.
Kingman sings lively, unencumbered melodies in a lovely high-register over inventive guitar work. His arrangements are direct and sparse. This inviting, intimate sound is contrasted with dense rhyming lyrics charged with an obscure sense of catastrophe, disorientation, and dread.
Recommended for fans of the Harry Smith Folk Anthology, Patti Smith, Gil-Scott Heron, The Mamas And The Papas, Rufus Wainwright, Leonard Cohen, and Diane Cluck.
