DESCRIPTION:On her new album Still + Bright\, Tennessee-bred singer/songwr
 iter Amythyst Kiah explores the vast expanse of her inner world: her deep-
 rooted affinity for Eastern philosophies and spiritual traditions\, a near
 -mystical connection with the natural environment\, the life lessons learn
 ed in her formative years as a self-described “anime-nerd mall goth\,”
  and much more. Produced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift\, Green Day\, Weeze
 r) and recorded at his Nashville studio\, Kiah’s second full-length for 
 Rounder Records merges her revelatory storytelling with a darkly cinematic
  twist on the rootsy alt-rock of her 2021 breakthrough Wary + Strange—an
  LP that landed on Rolling Stone’s list of the 25 Best Country and Ameri
 cana Albums of 2021 and drew acclaim from major outlets like Pitchfork. Wi
 th its sonic palette encompassing everything from fuzzed-out guitars and i
 ndustrial-leaning beats to gilded pedal steel and Kiah’s exquisitely gra
 ceful banjo work\, Still + Bright makes for a vital new addition to a body
  of work largely dedicated to exploring the struggle and joy of true self-
 discovery.The latest turn in a dynamic career that’s included joining Ou
 r Native Daughters (an all-women-of-color supergroup also featuring Rhiann
 on Giddens\, Leyla McCalla\, and Allison Russell)\, Still + Bright emerged
  from a deliberate transformation of the songwriting process Kiah adopted 
 after composing her first song on a Fender acoustic at age 13. To that end
 \, the album marks her first time opening up her approach and working with
  co-writers\, including punk legend Tim Armstrong\, Sadler Vaden (a guitar
 ist/vocalist for Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit)\, and former Pentatonix member
  Avi Kaplan. Although her third LP is an undeniable departure from the ang
 uished emotionality of its predecessor (an album informed by losing her mo
 ther to suicide at age 17)\, Kiah imparts each track with a hypnotic inten
 sity born from boldly stating her convictions. Revealing her rare ability 
 to spin her fascinations into songs uncovering essential truths about huma
 n nature\, Still + Bright ultimately affirms her as an artist of both dari
 ng originality and uncompromising depth.\nTickets: https://ironhorse.org/s
