Release Notes: With her fourth full-length album of original material, idiosyncratic singer/songwriter Kendra Morris invites you to join her in the DIY kaleidoscope world of Next. Morris’s latest record for Karma Chief strips away the veneers of layered production andslick sounds to create an album that may be Kendra at her most authentic, one inwhich the creative process is vibrant, beautiful, and messy, buoyed by heart and the imperfectly perfect now. A concept album in reverse, Next ties Kendra’s cast of characters to a vintageboard game in the spirit of Milton Bradley’s finest retro dice-rolling moments. Travelalong Next’s block-to-block journey, and this universe reveals itself. You can hearthe sonic palette resonate with Morris’s influences and inspirations. Decades ofNew York sounds and voices bend and blend at the seams of these tracks—aworld where the Brill Building and Warhol’s Factory thrive on the same block while Blondie and the Frightnrs explore rocksteady sounds. Doo-wop and boom-bapsoundtrack a UHF network’s worth of cut-and-paste stylings, all the while paced by Morris, an artist equally at home behind the lens as she is in front of a microphone. Kendra Morris and Karma Chief Records invite you to play along with Next, a sonicjourney where the roll of the dice means excitement and adventure. It’s Next,complete with 10 tracks and hours of fun for the whole family. Some assemblyrequired. Turntable, CD/cassette player, or streaming service sold separately.
