Wolfish

If you haven't listened to Kate Vargas' music before, you're in for a treat. When she released her previous album, Strangeclaw, I asked her a couple of questions about her musical upbringing. I was fascinated by the veritiable smorgsboard of sounds I heard jostling together in a 3-minute song. Vargas responded, "It’s a tough question. I don’t consciously model myself after anyone but, there’s no doubt, that my sound has been shaped by nearly everyone I’ve ever been drawn to." Vargas' sensitivity to the rhythms around her gives her music a pulsing, hypnotic energy. The music sounds familiar, but it will take you down unfamiliar roads. Based on the premiere single "Roll Around," it's fair to expect that her new album For the Wolfish & Wandering will take us all on an exciting journey.
