King Woman, the outfit featuring songwriter, vocalist and "tour de force of gloom and woe" (Rolling Stone) Kris Esfandiari, return with their eagerly-awaited sophomore album, Celestial Blues. Feeling compelled to reshape the biblical archetypes that once bound her, Esfandiari has created a theatrical tale of rebellion, tragedy, and triumph - a metaphor for her own personal experiences over the years - Celestial Blues was born. Recorded in Oakland, California by Grammy-nominated engineer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Amenra, Oathbreaker) Celestial Blues sees King Woman take a daring step forward as one of the genre's luminaries, releasing one of the year's most evocative records.
