Kee Avil labels her music “folk” and, in doing so, challenges the framework of a genre synonymous with tradition. The Montréal singer and multi-instrumentalist has an impressive command over the guitar, which she underlines with unsettling electronics and piano. The end result basks in crinkly murk, the spell occasionally broken by a splash of crystalline fretwork or a bout of impassioned bellowing. Her full-length debut, 2022’s Constellation-issued Crease, melded post-punk, ambient, and experimental textures, hitting like a zap of static from a dark gray blanket. Kee Avil’s new album, Spine, leans further into thorny minimalism. It’s her most tingly and complex body of work to date. bandcamp album of the day
