Miss Kenichi - The Trail - CD

Dark like the woods, but with shafts of light piercing through the trees, "The Trail" is a record that initially seems full of shadows and glooms, but whose beauty lends it a vital optimism. 

"The Trail" - Miss Kenichi's third album - is, quite simply, timeless; it lingers in the air like smoke over a battlefield, ominous and yet mysteriously beautiful, its origins nebulous, its presence felt and yet intangible. On first listen it seems so delicate as to be barely there. But, given a little time, The Trail sounds like it's been with you all your life, and the lives of many before you.

"The Trail" is the work of a mature and confident performer, its songwriting subtle and captivating, its arrangements imaginative and complex.

Earl Harvin, a collaborator with the likes of Air, Seal and Joe Henry, or Tindersticks, was a natural choice as co-producer for the record. With the help of a number of other musicians - amongst them Terry Edwards (Gallon Drunk, Tindersticks) and Chris Bruce (Meshell Ndgeocello, Chris Connelly) - they carefully nurtured "The Trail" towards its final configuration.

"The Trail" is full of songs that outgrow their origins, thriving and blossoming as they develop. With "The Trail", Miss Kenichi has created an album that is boundlessly immersive, full of wisdom, grace and wonder.

CD comes in a 4-sided Digisleeve and includes a 12-sided, folded poster booklet.
