There’s no trace of a sophomore slump here. After giving us a raw and introspective view of events on her 2014 full-length debut Life As A Dog following a string of EPs, LA-based singer/MC K.Flay (aka Kristine Flaherty) delivers a rougher, tougher, more abrasive slab of late-’90s/early-’00s rock-inspired theatrics on her second album Every Where Is Some Where that sees her trying to make sense of life, love and politics in a time of chaos.
Great review of a great album. Similar to twenty one pilots, K.Flay really taps into the anxiety of our generation and of this time, while melding that with her own personal narrative of struggles with substances like love and alcohol. To add onto this review, the closing track, Slow March, is such a bittersweet triumph at the end of a long trial. It ends a truly intense and anxious album with a sense of accomplishment and hope that makes the whole ride worth it.
