LP version. Includes download. Kacey Johansing releases her album No Better Time on Night Bloom Records. The album is an exploration of love and how one accepts it into his/her/their life. It asks how can someone allow love when the past is full of trauma. Can we become someone new and leave behind our former selves? Can place allow us that freedom? How does one find the strength to try again? Across 11 songs, Johansing wrestles to find the answers, her unmistakable vocals always leading the way. Anchored by powerful performances pulled from three days of live tracking with her band all in the same room, the album is bounding and energetic at its core. First takes were prioritized and perfection was rarely the goal. Rather, capturing an emotion and honesty from herself and the players was the rule of the day. The album pulls from Johansing's love of classic pop -- it's her LA record -- the place where she now resides and initially struggled to understand. Joan Didion said, "The future always looks good in the golden land, because no one remembers the past." Kacey saw that and chose to tap into the creative buzz happening all around her -- at small clubs and while dipping in and out of playing in friends' bands, including in between tours as a member of Hand Habits. The resulting No Better Time is the sound of letting go and faithfully falling into step with a new way. There are vibraphones and swooping strings, grand pianos, and doubled acoustic guitars, washes of tape delay and woodwinds -- but it is the songs that continue to set Johansing apart. Here she unveils her strongest set yet. Produced by Johansing and multi-instrumentalist Tim Ramsey (Vetiver, Fruit Bats), engineered by Tyler Karmen (DIIV, Alvvays), and mixed by Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Cat Power). Includes contributions from Todd Dahlhoff (Feist, Devendra Banhart), Trevor Beld Jimenez (Parting Lines), and Amir Yaghmai (Julian Casablancas + The Voidz).
