Madeline Kenney – Stream the New Album
Perfect Shapes Out Now via Carpark
Oct 05, 2018
Madeline Kenney
Madeline Kenney released her sophomore album, Perfect Shapes, today via Carpark. Now that the album is out, you can stream the whole thing below. Also below are her upcoming tour dates.
Previously Kenney shared a video for Perfect Shapes’ first single, “Cut Me Off” (which was our #1 Song of the Week), as well as a creepy self-directed video for another new song from the album, “Overhead” (which was also one of our Songs of the Week), a lyric video for “Bad Idea” (which made our Songs of the Week list as well), and the audio for “Perfect Shapes.”
Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak and Flock of Dimes produced the album, apart from “Overhead,” which was produced by Ben Sloan instead of Wasner.
Kenney only just released her debut album, Night Night at the First Landing, in September 2017 via Company. Toro Y Moi’s Chaz Bear produced that album. Back in January she shared a brand new song, “Still Learning,” which featured Naytronix (aka Nate Brenner of Tune-Yards) and is not on the new album.
Perfect Shapes was recorded in Durham, NC in January 2018, just five months after the release of her debut album. This is Wasner’s first time producing another artist’s work.
Wasner had this to say about Kenney and the album in a previous press release: “The first time I heard the songs that would come together to form Madeline Kenney’s Perfect Shapes, I understood what it felt like to really have a piece of art speak directly to you…hearing her words felt like someone whispering in my ear the contents of my own mind. This was my first time producing music other than my own, and it was one of the only times I’ve ever experienced working exclusively with women. And it was a creative experience unlike any I’ve ever had.”
