The Curse of KK Hammond Filters American Blues Through a British Lens for Delicious Horror-laced Album
The Curse of KK Hammond’s “Death Roll Blues” album is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the early 20th century era of Acoustic Blues. This debut full-length album by the UK artist K.K. Hammond is a statement of purpose for the growing movement of modern masters of this style. With a blend of Bentonia styled Blues and Southern Gothic horror, Hammond creates a unique sound that is both captivating and chilling.
The simplicity of the album is deceptive, as multiple listens reveal layers of complexity in the lacey interlocked guitar parts and Hammond’s bracingly clarion voice. Her use of Southern Gothic imagery as tools for self-expression is a powerful and clever way to express complex emotions. Through her lyrics, she is able to make the political personal, touching on modern headlines and the state of the world.
Songs such as “Anhedonia” and the title track, featuring fellow British Acoustic Blues artist David & the Devil, showcase Hammond’s ability to bring together different elements and create a truly unique sound. The title track opens with a modern descending guitar figure, giving way to a call and response chant that is equal parts eerie and catchy. The haunting chorus, with its fragile and quivering vocals, adds to the overall chilling atmosphere of the song.
What sets this album apart is Hammond’s British perspective, which she filters through American culture to create something fresh and reverent. Recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, Death Roll Blues is a testament to the talent and creativity of K.K. Hammond. This is only the beginning of what promises to be a great career for this rising artist. The Curse of K.K. Hammond is upon us, and we can’t wait to hear more.
