KD’s second collaboration with co-producer Billy Conway (Morphine, Twinemen) Songs for a Hurricane is the darker, moreelectric cousin to 2001’s Five Stories. Again working at Hi-n-Dry Studio in Cambridge, MA (the loft and studio space of the late Mark Sandman), the team chose a smaller sonic palette to create a spacious landscape for the songs to move through. Hurricane’s musical crew includes Conway on drums, Andrew Mazzone on bass guitars, and Julie Wolf on all things with keys. The electric guitar duty was shared amongst Mark Erelli, Jabe Beyer, Kevin Barry, and Steve Mayone. Kris played bowed instruments here & there. Everyone sang at some point or another. Taken as a whole, the songs are a many-faceted meditation on loss, grief, liberation, and change.
