Madeline Kenney Perfect Shapes
While Madeline Kenney’s 2017 debut LP, Night Night at the First Landing, was at its heart a guitar-centric rock album, Perfect Shapes, which was recorded and produced by a new collaborator, Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner, leaps headfirst into fresh and adventurous territory. Largely eschewing conventional rock structures, its ten songs are full of surprises big and small - from vibrant synth lines to taut bass figures and subtly modulated vocals - that instead of feeling fussed over, reveal Kenney’s penchant for elegant and abstract composition.
