Whitney K- Hard To Be A God
SKU: 5053760088424
Don't ya know it's hard to be a god. No reason to sugar coat it, what you're getting is peak Whitney K, poetry in motion and masterful writing where words, harmony, arrangements all dance in the same direction, free flowing through songs about change and memory. A voice as an instrument. Hard To Be A God is the new mini-album by Whitney K and follows 2021's acclaimed 'Two Years'. Now based in Montreal, once again Konner Whitney is accompanied by friend, musician and all-hands-on-deck collaborator Joshua Boguski and by multi-instrumentalist Avalon Tassonyi. From the opening notes of 'While Digging Through The Snow' it's apparent that something magical is happening, like witnessing a "state of grace", a breathtaking delivery where the game has slowed down and the band is dazzled while proceeding in trance through the experience. This is 'a moment', a future staple, a daydreamer ballad where reassessing one's life stock and it's surroundings gently evolves into a wider narrative, one where you are left contemplating colonial legacy and it's inevitable conclusion. 'Not Unlike A Rock' is a rollicking bongo cruiser plateauing with mixolydian guitar licks that would make deadheads realign; the cartwheeling percussion on 'Two Strangers' nervously advances carrying Queen Victoria on her drive, another abstract metaphor for colonialism in Canada. 'Hard To Be A God'... well, it does take a while for a lesson to sink in. 'Song For A Friend' is the epic closer, a stunning majestic beautifully orchestrated song about losing that someone to another more desirable city... or is it about the feeling of being left behind? Another hypnotic performance soaring above a wash of strings and piano weaving.
