This is Whitney : :' KÆs æTwo YearsÆ, a deep dive into the Canadian songwriterÆs ': ,: journey through vulnerability, change and ultimately letting his :, : guard down. : :' ': ,: Whitney K is the wandering stalwart Konner Whitney, a Whitehorse :, : Yukon resident who has spent time in Vancouver, Montreal, : :' Burnaby and Los Angeles. We met the character in 2016 through ': ,: his intoxicating 4-track recorded manifesto æGoodnightÆ, a head :, : on collision into 24 hours of illusioned romance and modern day : :' escapism. ': ,: :, : Fast forward to 2021, lift those curtains, aptly titled æGood : :' MorningÆ is the opening track on æTwo YearsÆ, a different ': ,: cracker, a deliberate record about transformation, where to put :, : it simply, Whitney K has arrived. Enlisting the aid of main : :' collaborator and bandmate Josh Boguski and drummer Avalon ': ,: Rossignol-Tassonyi the focus has been shifted, folklore and :, : realism becoming reckoning and truthfulness, what was outsider : :' folk is now political poetry, life in motion delivered through ': ,: a freeway ridden baritone voice that transforms the mundane into :, : extraordinary. Written with a completely different mindset and a : :' conscious effort to break with the traditions of a corrupt, ': ,: hypocritical, and hateful society/lineage, KonnerÆs pen is :, : precise and daring, uniting the earnestness of Willie Nelson and : :' the comedy relief of Harry Nilsson on the beautiful æMe Or The ': ,: Party #165Æ, or when painting CanadaÆs colonial past and :, : heartland image on the primitive rockÆnÆroll anthem : :' æTrans-Canada Oil Boom BluesÆ. There is no avoidance, no ': ,: excuses, whether your self portrait in the mirror resembles a :, : five dollar caricature sold on a boardwalk, the John Cale-esque : :' opener æGood MorningÆ, or whether you learn you are worthy of ': ,: love like on the poignant vignette æMarylandÆ, the beautifully :, : arranged album closer that echoes Tin Pan Alley with Lou ReedÆs : :' grit. æTwo YearsÆ also presents plenty of fun, the perfectly ': ,: stumblinÆ garage rocker æLast Night #2Æ, the honky tonk blues :, : coming-of-age episode æCowboy City RockerÆ and the cello/violin : :' belter æHit This PipeÆ. One of Whitney KÆs many gems is æThe ': ,: WeekendÆ a minimalist spectral ode to hope where the bandÆs :, : restriction brings out the pure force and vocal command of the : :' ramblinÆ troubadour. Time to open your arms, heÆs coming out of ': ,: no fun city and aiming straight for you. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 1 \/
