Karin Park's Highway Poetry still sounds great a year after release

Highway Poetry is one of those albums I can't stop coming back to while I write.  There are so many moods and moments represented on this album that I can't recommend it enough. It was on my year end list of 2012 but I don't think I ever spoke about it on it's own.  Listening to this album brings me back to the day I picked up Bjork's Post LP.  It's hearing an artist evolve to something that's ready to be taken more seriously on a grander scale.

Anyhow, she's put out a good amount of videos last year and here is a good collection of her work for you to enjoy.  Pick up Highway Poetry and you won't be disappointed or maybe you already did when I put it on my year end list in 2012. 

"Thousand Loaded Guns" is one of the hardest hitting songs from Highway Poetry.   She made a video for this but her performance live at the AllSaints Basement Sessions is way better than the video.

"Wildchild" is a more stripped down song and in your face song from Karin.  It's the shortest of the album and probably one of my favorites. Oh yeah, it also has the line "he showed me his monkey."  HAHAHA. Love it.  That's what happens Karin when boys come through your bedroom door.

"Fryngies" was Highway Poetry's first singles.  It's one of the more Bjrok moments on this album.  The way Karin sings and her chorus feels directly lifted from Post.  Not that I have any issues with that. If it's working, keep doing it.
