On her new album Still + Bright, Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter Amythyst Kiah explores the vast expanse of her inner world, merging her revelatory storytelling with a darkly cinematic twist on the rootsy alt-rock of her 2021 breakthrough. With its sonic palette encompassing everything from fuzzed-out guitars and industrial-leaning beats to gilded pedal steel and Kiah's exquisitely graceful banjo work, Still + Bright makes for a vital new addition to a body of work largely dedicated to exploring the struggle and joy of true self-discovery.

- The album was produced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Green Day, Weezer) and recorded at his Nashville studio, promising a dynamic and cinematic sound.
- Kiah's rare ability to spin her fascinations into songs uncovering essential truths about human nature is on full display.
Who Should Attend
